  1. Re:Franklin Ace 1000 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Commodore PET was my first, Franklin Ace 1000 was my second. I had it pulled apart just 8 hours after my Mom brought it home from Lucky Stores where she worked as a data entry grunt.

    I loved that machine...but the Mac Plus and SE/30 eventually forced their way onto my desk and put the Ace in the closet ;-(

  2. Re:Commodore PET on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    My third grade class had three PETs, all donated by my teacher's husband who was a scientist at the Lawrence Livermore Lab. Ah, the memories.....

  3. Re:Speed on Using a 747 to Fight Wildfires · · Score: 2, Interesting

    yeah, but you can't take a 747 up the feather river canyon in california and draw a line along a high tight ridge that keeps the fire from racing up the canyon further. sure, you could deluge the whole canyon in red mud but why?

    the problem is a few companies not maintaining their planes and the rest suffer because of it...

  4. Had to use it... on AppleCare for PowerBooks - Worth it or Wasted? · · Score: 1

    ...when my Rev A TiBook had a crack in the hinge which produced three lines down the right side of the screen. Sent it in and they replaced most of the shell and the screen and keyboard (had some keys sticking).

  5. How can they have v7.0... on A First Look at Netscape 7 · · Score: 1

    ...when 6.0 is still crap?

  6. What would Walt think? on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 1

    About Mike Eisner?

    I think he'd fire him. I like Apple. I like Disney.

    Michael Eisner, go rip, mix and burn this . Then go piss up a flagpole.
