Plus shipping charges. I haven't used it in a while and want it to have a good home.:-)
It has a 52 MB HD (plenty of room for this machine), a 68030 processor, 6 MB RAM and a high-density floppy, and I'll give you the 1942 monitor, a huge box of software, and USR 14.4 modem, too.
Know that's really sad? A few years back, there was a GUI OS (ok, a GUI shell that ran on top of an OS) that was really popular that included a scheduling program, a mail server, a pop-up messenger tool, and an instant-messaging tool. They worked well, though confined to the LAN.
Do you remember what it was? Windows for Workgroups!
Microsoft took these features out so they could sell the unstable, unmanageable behemoth that is Exchange.
ClearChannel is just using this as an excuse. The US Gov., as far as I know, isn't planning to censor anything. I think I heard they are SUGGESTING that movies take on a non-violent otne for the time being, but I didn't hear that it was illegal to have an explosion in a movie or to use the word "hijacker" anything like that.
As far as I can tell, the only group actively trying to take away rights is the American Civil Liberties Union, who is trying to take away your right to pray. Or, I guess, if they get their way, your right to believe in a God.
-It supports many processors.
-It is based on TAO's Intent.
-There are currently STABLE "runtimes" for Linux and Windows, with more in development.
-It's faster than Java.
-Most programs run faster through the runtime than they would if coded in C for a native OS.
-It has already been adopted by Sharp.
I noticed that quote in the orginal story I read last week or whenever. AOL says customer "satisfaction has never been higher." But that doesn't mean it's high!
It could be at 3%, when it never previously topped 2.5%.
It's like when a commercial says "Nothing lasts longer" or "Nothing is stronger." It's not saying that it is any BETTER than the others. It's not even saying that the others a don't last as long, or are weaker.
Double-speak - it will sway the weak minded every time.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't downloading the movie straight to a CD-R (which holds more than 500 MBs) prevent the movie from being "locked?" Once the movie and the "wrapper" are on the CD, it can't be modified to prevent playback a second, third, or fiftieth time.
I remember vaguely something about a Win32 install?
And that Win for Workgroups was better than regular Windows, even if you weren't going to use the networking features, because of better 32-bit software support?
I can't remember it was so long ago, so many generations (of OSs) ago.
