The finger pads on laptops for mouse movements is an example of apple's inventions
Incorrect. Apple was still shipping trackballs in its 100 series PowerBooks when Glidepoint produced the first, IIRC, trackpads for x86-based notebooks. I had an Everex 386-based notebook with one.
With the dot-com shakeout behind us, most training centers that havent folded probably kept the best trainers. At least one can hope!
Sadly, no. The best trainers are often too expensive for the centers, who drop them like a bad habit and hire new ones with no experience, no expectations and low salary reqs.
The original article's quote omitted an important piece to this. If you're giving away a machine with an OEM-installed OS, the OS license goes with the machine.
The important thing, as far as MS is concerned, is that if I donate a PC with an OEM-installed OS, I don't keep a copy of the OS. The one copy that was on the machine goes with it when it's donated.
Yes, the MS piece could say that more clearly, but it's a guide for recipients of donations, not the donors themselves
1) He LISTENED 2) He came with facts, not just hyperbole and urban legends 3) He didn't denigrate the opposite side 4) He WENT - he got off of his butt and traveled to meet with these people, which is more than most of us would do (myself included).
Thanks for taking action, Jon, when most pundits would be content to snipe from afar. (Was there some problem in editing? I didn't see the phrase 'open source' in the piece;> )
