The illustrious Senator Mumper is also one of the authors of Senate Bill 24 our Orwellianly titled "Academic Bill of Rights" designed solely to restrict academic freedoms. It's a good thing Ohio isn't facing any real issues (say, a budget crisis for example) and he has time to concentrate on these important matters. Oh, wait.....
#3 256K!?! I'd say that's pretty good. I'd even say that's great. In fact, I'll go even further and say that if Windows runs in 256K, nobody will ever need more than 640K!
Well, it isn't a store but the University of Cincinnati sells surplus, well, um, crap evey Thursday from 11:00-1:00 at the old Sears building (now the Campus Services Building), 2900 Reading Road, at the corner of Reading Road and Lincoln Avenue on Reading Road. They don't have a great selection but they definitely have weird stuff and it's cheap. They tend towards general stuff like tables & couches but I've bought oscillators ($15), the old spotlights from the student center ($75 but waaay cool!), racks ($35), and miscellaneous terminals and such ($10-15). They usually have a bunch of stuff from the labs that has been surplused (centrifuges and such) and old magnetic tape drives and the occasional VAX. Worth checking out.
All I can say is that this lawsuit doesn't show much knowledge of the process involved in making a movie like Monsters inc. According to this Mouse fella, somebody from Pixar paid him a visit in 2000. Monsters inc came out in 2001. There is no way that this movie could have been done that quickly. It is a 4-5 year process. The modeling and storyboards would have been complete by late 1999 for sure. This story should have a pretty short lifespan once the facts come out although I admit it is pretty funny for Disney to be sued by a guy named mouse!
We started with singers (elvis, lemmy, etc.), went conventional (cobalt1, host, etc.), and have now settled on computer names (trs80, vic20, rs6000, pdp11, etc.) which seems pretty cool and is good for loads of laughs on support calls ('My mail is hosted on a trs-80!?!').
