  1. Windows 3.11 "Windows for Workgroups" on 25 Years Today - Windows 3.0 · · Score: 1

    For me, Windows 3.11 "Windows for Workgroups" was the standout. Were you still there for that release?

    After that, Windows 95 and Windows XP were the good ones in my book. (Although Windows 98 added a lot, it still felt like an incremental improvement over Windows 95).

    For the M$ haters, I'm typing this on a Mac.

  2. Re:Unix was built on top of a few paradigms on Is Modern Linux Becoming Too Complex? · · Score: 1

    It's VMS all over again: is anyone here old enough to remember host::disk$1:[directory]file.ext;version?

    Yep. You are not alone :-)

  3. Re:Physical activity! on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    I second this.

    On days when I run for an hour in the morning I don't feel the need to drink coffee.

    Normally I drink 4 or 5 cups in a working day.

    Another benefit of exercise should help you, too - you'll sleep better that night which will help the next day.

  4. Just paid for and downloaded a song... on New Online Music Service For Australia · · Score: 4, Informative

    For the record:
    - it was easy to find the song
    - easy to sign up
    - easy to pay
    - easy to download
    - easy to play (after media player updated itself with the DRM stuff)
    - easy to burn to audio CD

    The web site's HTML needs work, though.

    Overall I enjoyed the experience. It gave me the "hey that's cool" smile.

    Oh and yes I know I'm supposed to hate it 'cos it's DRM WMA. Know what? If I can burn it to a red book CD then I'm happy.
