...on NPR any way. Sometimes compression is your friend. It's really annoying listening to NPR programs in the near white-noise environment of my old pickup truck. I crank the volume way up so I can hear their interviewees, but the then the host or bumper music comes blaring on strong and I have to crank it down quick. I'm constantly riding the volume knob.
Hey NPR, it's only talk, go ahead and compress it a little.
Of course, if I really cared about NPR's content, I wouldn't be driving a 19 year old diesel pickup truck.
I found this a very interesting read. A Brief History of ClarisWorks
As someone who had a small part in the ClarisWorks software, it is indeed a sad day. What Bob Hearn and the two Scott's (Scott Holdaway and Scott Lindsey) accomplished was amazing. Later others joined the team. These guys were devastatingly talented engineers. Microsoft was constantly trying to hire these guys away from Claris. Later after Bob and Scott left, they did hire away a lot of the development team.
The integration in ClarisWorks was amazing in the way you could seamlessly embed frames inside one another. I remember a QA tester writing up a bug because a development version crashed due to low memory when a thousand (or something like that) spreadsheet frames were inserted into a footnote of a word processing document. Spreadsheet frames in a footnote! Now that's integration!
