Is your society in the jungle? If we are part of the same society, which I think we are, it seems the more we can create to assist others in our society the greater the return in: research, technology, investments, job growth. In our society we do have moral and ethical character that makes our lives have more personal value when we help others. A capitalist doesn't doesn't see "inferior people", they see opportunity, good or bad it all gets shared with society in one form or another. And yes, I get your point about living in a Darwinian way, but we do not live in a utopian society that I am aware of.
It really does look like Nixie tubes; maybe it is an old power supply. It could also be a very bright segmented LED display, circa 1970's. Anyway, it's kind of nice to see gear not tossed due to bogus obsolescence.
Looks like I get to stick to my AppleWorks. Which, I actually love, because I can save in all the 'other' formats. I have read many slights of AppleWorks, but is really is a mature office package with great features. Plus, with the latest update to 6.2.7 on OS X is starts up super quick.

Dear Sirs,
How can new music flourish when your application appears to find a 'lowest common denominator' within the musical structure?
In addition if your application is comparing againt the 'Top 40, etc.' those 'scales' are weighed by marketing, not by musical content, how can this function? Wouldn't this just create a minimum acceptable criteria that destroys the essence of music itself? Music would seemingly not be composed, but contain sampled artifacts of what 'works' in the opinion of your application?
In my experience, music on any 'popular charting system' is devoid of musicality, it is a laundry list of members of the cult of personality in the moment; driven by economic factors, rather than what humans enjoy in music.
How can an application template the complexity of the human experience of music?
Is your application limited to Pop music? Does it factor in the in music of history and other cultures?
Yours Respectfully,
Marc-Charels McNulty
When Element K jumped whole heartedly to a J2EE environment on Sun boxes they ran backwards. They purchased a broken LMS from what was Isopia (now Sun) and had to rebuild it to run properly, if at all. Hopefully they can unwind the years of MS SQL and ASP running their sites. Too bad they chose to remove so many human assets to pay for all of this non-working and incomplete hardware/software, as well as withdraw their IPO. Maybe they would still have an active training center? Linux would have done wonders for their internal and external concerns.
They would have had one system to port to rather than a myriad of isolated systems.
As a current user of OS X 10.1 I am quite annoyed that I will have to pay $129 to get OS X 10.2. I have only had 10.1 for less than 1 year and I like it, but having to spend again for the 'new' OS has me about to dump my powerbook. Plus, the.Mac initiative that costs between $49 -> $99 to keep my mac.com email address, wonderful (not!).
I am one of the newly switched and I feel screwed by this pocket digging.
If Apple does not amend this 'change' I will be one of the 'switch-backs'.

Aren't most of the Windows Office virus' written in VBA? How would that run in a Mac OS?
