In Europe there are several baby AOLs (forget exactly how many), each charging different rates (so much for the Common Market), and each serving up its own local content, but with the ability to access to all the other AOLs around the globe (now there's a scary thought, eh?)
There once was a EuropeOnline, a proprietary online service launch just after Europeans discovered the Internet en masse - suffice to say, it is now a very distant memory.
In answer to your statement, yes America is the centre of the Universe, but only because most Americans have trouble with the map of the world, and have settled on a much simpler version.
If they shipped TFM with the product, that would be great, but hey guess what, Small Business Server (what we have at work) just comes with a 'Getting Started' booklet.
I did buy a good book BEFORE installing the thing. But evidently I'm in the minority.
Unfortunately, MS went and made the installation more user-friendly when they put together Small Business Server, of which SQL Server is a part. So they dropped, amongst other things, the need to set sa password. Luckily, I'd read up in advance of getting the system. Doh!
Luckily I got a copy of 'SQL Server Unleashed' before setting up the Small Business Server at work - changing the sa password is the first post-installation task in the chapter on installing SQL Server.
I daresay it's mentioned in Microsoft Press titles that cover SQL Server, and in the online Knowledgebase. But for them to blame the administrator when someone then breaks into the database server is still a cheek on their part.
Something as simple as this should be on a sheet of paper IN BIG LETTERS with every copy of SQL Server they ship!
I've never quite figured out what it is that gets people's backs up so much about Usenet archive services. I've no problem with having my words 'etched in stone', as I usually take the time to read what I've typed before hitting the 'post' button.
The only people who would seem to have a problem are either newsgroup trolls, spammers, or posters of porn pics and warez.
I regularly use Deja to check for answers to problems I come up against whilst working on projects, and to find out where thinks that I'm interested in are being discussed. I just wish that Deja's servers didn't throw a wobbly every other day, and that they had more newsgroups listed. Remarq (which I also use occasionally) covers some of the gaps, but I found their interface a lot more effort to work with.
I've now invested in a paid news account, so that I can be sure of not missing stuff on the newsgroups that I read off-line. Unfortunately, my ISP's newsfeed is big on newsgroups but short on article retention.
Is it just me, or is there absolutely nothing at that ftp address? Could be these pesky Web Folders in Windows mucking me up of course, anyone know how to make IE5 show old-style FTP output?
'Amiga's Relationship With Corel a Great Success!; http://www.amiga.com/corporate/040100-corel.shtm l
In the light of the recent debacle over the now ex-merger between Corel and Borland/Imprise, I wonder if Amiga are having second thoughts about cozying up to that nice Mr Cowpland. (The news release is dated April 1st, by the way - a coincidence, i'm sure!)
Looks like you'll have to scan the classifieds and auctions looking for someone throwing out an old workstation... even the computer trade catalogues I get to flick through at work stopped stocking ISA graphics cards a long while back.... it's PCI or nowt!

Which glacier were you defrosted out of?
Well and truly off-topic, and (having had a look at the links) pretty damn sad to boot.

Cheers mate.... I must have scrolled through that list a dozen times without spotting that option. Doh!
