It's just not true. I'm a CC programmer. I was on all the internal conference calls. The list was an ad-hoc effort of local programmers. Anything anyone suggested went on it. There was no company mandate to "ban" these titles. I thought a lot of the titles were silly--until I took my first complaint call about Kansas' "Dust in the Wind," of all frikkin' things. People are unreasonably sensitive right now--as perhaps evidenced by all the self-righteous breast-beating going on around here.
In the end, I rested a few titles. They're good records, and will be back on the air sometime. Get the hell over it.
I wish someone would talk about all the CC people who went days without sleep covering this story. Or that our company, as a whole, dropped EVERYTHING for fulltime news (including commercials, in many cases). Or our relief fund at http://clearchannel.com.
Back to work. Keep NY, DC, and PA in your prayers.
I'm running OS X on my older iBook. 10.0.4 runs well even with the 300 mHz G3. I wish I had Firewire and another USB port. The new iBooks will be monsters. They're affordable, reasonably fast, and well-made. Run OS X or Yellow Dog/Linux PPC. And away you go.
So some doctor thinks PDAs make young people stupid, since they don't have to remembers as much.
Stupidity isn't memory: it's intelligence. That's aptitude, Doc. What you mean to say is "PDAs mean young people don't have to remember as much."
Now who's stupid? Yeah, you.
It's not as quick as IE 5.x on a modest Windows platform, but it's running pretty well and rarely crashes. With Mozilla 0.6, I've ceased using Netscape 4.x as my primary browser and mail client. I'm running on a 633 Celeron w/128 megs of RAM. Mozilla's Java was crashing me on startup, so I uninstalled it. In a few days, I'll upgrade my Red Hat distro to 7.0 and see if it makes things better or worse.
I like Mozilla. It's attractive, renders well, and the mail client does a better job than my old Netscape. Yeah, if your system is robust enough, you might wanna try it. 133 mHz processors need not apply.
