..about the subject.... I dont know?, I guess it all depends...I am afraid for instance , that the new generation of kids using only digital clocks and watches slowly will not know the meaning of such words as "couter-clockwise" in few years! in essense we are not doing ourselves any favors by making certain (old) things become Obsolete!
I learn computers when/if you had an i386 SX at 16 MHz and DOS 3 , you were the king lol,(I still like my command line screen a lot better than the one with a pointer...) and it is funny NASA at one time started to buy the old computer parts and memory (off ebay, remember?) bcs they are tough and rugged and dont break so easily when sent up into space. so there are still good things about the old and the obsolete! I know it was meant to be a fun thread but it can certainly wake us up as well!
How 'bout Google Refusing to go along with Bush and Co. on eavesdropping the General Public? (I guess in hopes of finding better 'prone' sites than the whitehouse staff already have!?).
It is like these 2 real lazy addicts once robbed a bank, when they finaly got home the 1st one says to the 2nd one "hey let's count the money to see how much?" , the 1st one says ooohh.. who feels like doing all of that? Just wait and we'll hear it (as to how much) on the news tomorrow!:D
