Oh, yeah. BASIC+2. That was the starter. Line numbers and GOTO.
I am almost positive that the handful of glass terminals we had were ADM-3. The hump-back and dip-switches seem right. Ours were dark brown or grey, with black backs. The compute lab was lined with the paper terminals. 30 of these running was like a machine shop.

They aren't "bringing something new" by dragging along something old. :-P
Coming out? Breaking out.
Pick it up, yes.
There's a fine if you leave it on the lawn or trails. Did you bring a baggie?
There aren't. We just "slashdotted" 'em.
Surface? It's Unpossible. A turd. On a silver platter.
I watched the entire Zune BS from inside MS - and predicted the entire trajectory of the "chase Apple, xerox their market" strategy.
Have you been into a "Microsoft Store"? It's like the Bizarro World, from Superman Comics.
This is phase two, of the Bizarro strategy: Now that they have a consumer store, they will produce a product to sell in it.
Microsoft doesn't like price wars.
They prefer to fail on MERIT!

Upgrade to SURFACE! Everybody wins, right?
Just bring the Surface adaptor for your trusty IBM 42H1292 Model-M 101-key!
SPROIIIING!
Everything!
Except follow you on every device you own, anywhere you want!
OOPS! "Hey, let me just plug my XBOX 360 into my cigarette lighter, and stream the music over bluetooth. This thing rocks for discovering new stuff!"
"...or an ill-conceived also-ran like the Zune."
No. It is a delusional, strategic blunder.
IE9 on Windows.
What an abortion.
"Safe browsing" through blocking actions and pop-up notifications that interrupt 60% of user activity. I kept thinking "This is a Beta, right?"
What in the Shill-iverse are you saying?
Has this been what anybody is asking for? Oh, yeah! That's why netbooks prevented the iPad from getting any traction!
There's no real "tablet market" There's the iPad market, and there are eReaders. Everything else is marginal.
You want to wear the CONE OF SHAME in a meeting? Bring a Surface. :-)
Why should the Blackberry users hog all the ignominy?
Shout it from the rooftop.

Surface is the new Zune!
"LONG LIVE ZUNE!" :-)
Just saying this has me bursting into laughter.

Tourette's (noun, medical) Definition:
For my kids? Sports is about PLAYING. They can't watch their favorite sport for more than 10 mins.
If I want lies, I just come to Slashdot. :-/
Look! TV just killed itself!
I have two tween kids. They don't know what Cable, satellite or OTA are...
There's YouTube, NetFlix, Amazon and PutLocker.
They also know some suckers who pay for HuluPlus, to watch the unwatchable.

Was TWO "Evil Empires" - holding each other mostly in check.
Now, one is free to rampage.
The "bread and circuses" of consumerism and democratic tautologies keep the sheep calm down on the farm.
Strategy.
