But seriously, in Belgium someone I knew who was recovering from a cancer operation was in a ward with a bar where you could get a beer. The Belgians are very fond of their beer!
Actually the BBC Micro is a bad example, because it did have an operating system and could run Pascal, COMAL or a number of other languages (all using the same OS commands) You could even take the BASIC ROM out and just have the OS.
No they're pretty common, I saw one or two when I was in Norway last summer, some in the sea, some on fishmonger's slabs. (and yes I do know they're mammals but perhaps the Norwegans don't)
Unfortunately some people don't know the difference between computer education and computer training.
However I think they might just notice if their daughter was given sex training rather than sex education.
I can't reach the site at the moment, but when was the patent applied for? The Wavefinder USB DAB radio (http://www.psion.com) has been around since 2000 and that has three coloured LEDs under a translucent cover which pulse and fade different colours like a 70's disco light.
Can't be as bad as the T.V. edit of 'Risky Business' 'Sometimes you have to say what the F***, If you can't say it, you can't do it' changed to 'what the heck'
Microsoft Chocolate (tm) though. Imagine the little sheet in the top being a small booklet with all the license terms. Not to mention all the disclaimers for tooth decay, obesity, spots, diabetes, bubonic plague, presence of spring steel and crunchy frog bones etc...
Well this is true for the old DOS days but if you compare Wordperfect for Windows with the versions of MS Word previous and subsequent I think you will see the influences...
Spider Solitaire? Sun had that 15 years ago! Does that mean that Microsoft is now slipping backwards in its "Innovation" and is now MORE than ten years behind everyone else?

Yep you're right. What was I thinking about? Probably 8 inch disks, didn't they have the index hole in a different position for double sided? Come to think about it what was the moderator thinking about?
The only thing that ID's a floppy as single sided is not having the extra hole in it (the one opposite the write protect tab), so either drill a hole in the single sided floppy in the right place (not recommended due to plastic swarf getting EVERYWHERE), or get a sacrificial floppy drive and somehow disable the switch that senses that hole.

You can't do that! That's Pritchard's Instant Custard Powder Ad!
and I don't drink rice beer
Lots of Americans do though... It's sometimes called Bud (look on the label you might be suprised)

I've been told that one of the people behind the lie detector was the creator of Wonder Woman, Charles Moulton. Does anybody know if it's true?
Braveheart? Well it might not be SF, but if you know anything about history it certainly counts as fantasy!
