First time I ever considered suicide was when VS 2005 lost track of its behind-the-scenes "magic" and refused to compile previously-working code. It only recovered after I retried something over and over agin, expecting different results.
I think that's a sign of something...
Also, waiting for my keystrokes to appear isn't as fun as it used to be.
Don't test your software on a computer that's better than your worst user's system. That will prevent unpleasant surprises later when your first install runs like crap on a normal PC.
Maybe you can justify a fast PC for development since "modern" IDEs like Visual Studio or Eclipse have outrageous requirements. But, don't count on your users sharing your expensive tastes.
Oh, also, try not to have kids. They always want to play with the computer.
Their Usenet archive is THE most useful resource on the internet. It may be the only really useful resource on the internet.
As someone who has to constantly solve problems involving a wide assortment of hardware and software, I can't begin to estimate the value af being able to go to a single web site and find the answer to almost any problem within minutes.
It is the only web site I would consider paying a monthly fee to use.
On the other hand, their me-too product ratings have no value to me at all. No doubt it will sell for a lot more money and be around for ever.
Based on the NT version I installed, I think it means "it'll be in the next version". At least that's the story for iFS and the HTTP Listener - 2 of the things I wanted to try out. The release notes say that they'll be in version 8.1.6.

Thanks to this new generosity, I think I will stay with Windows 2000 instead of buying a Mac.
I assume it has already been hacked.
The winner's name is in an envelope at Fox News.
If you like great simple UI's, then you just described their old email system.
The functionality of the beta is great, but like everyone has said, it is slow to load.
Once it's loaded, it works pretty well.
When I use it, I load it in the morning and keep it open.
If I want to keep jumping in and out, I switch back to the Classic mode.

TOAD was free until Quest bought it.
There is still a free version, but it is very out-of -date.
How did he lose his old articles if they were safely stored on a central server, accessed by a simple NC?
That sounds like the kind of problem you should only have if you use a stand-alone PC where you are responsible for your own backups.
