It's great somebody finally did this. I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort, but "real life"-tests are the only reliable way to find out how players handle the different formats.
Hm, if my memory serves me right CE wouldn't be that open. I don't remember any details, but it was not anything like open source. The whole thing was featured on slashdot some time back.
On the other hand, nobody expected Microsoft to open any source at all, and it's a good thing that they did it.
I'm no expert in this area, but does the world really need another BSD? Wouldn't it be better if the BSD people tried to make fewer and better distributions?
Hit me if I'm wrong.

There's also an emulator called Pocket C64 for PocketPC PDA:s.

The C64 is also a great computer for homemade hardware projects. It has a "user port" that's really easy to program and contains a bunch of I/O-lines that can work as input or output. There are also two joystick ports that can have five inputs each. If my memory serves me right the joystick ports can also be configured to be analog inputs, but then you loose a few of the digital ones. Then there's the big cartridge port that I've never programmed, but I think it's something like the user port, perhaps a bit more advanced.
Since the BASIC programming language is built in, all you have to do is flip the power-switch and start programming!
My first thought was wow, things like these are very simple to deploy in a region (island) this small. Then i realised their budget is probably pretty small as well. It feels more manageble in this scale though.
Yeah! Agents, I read about them a long time ago. I thought it was a pretty good idea. Most of all I wanted to try one to see how well it worked. What happened to them anyway?
Yeah, I always thought there was no reception whatsoever in airplanes. That does of course not stop the phones from transmitting, trying to find a network.
But it there's mobile phone reception in an airplane, wouldn't *that* disrupt the airplane systems? The mobile phone basestations transmit on the same frequency as the phones, only stronger, right?
Man, that's sick! How can these movies be legal?? Somebody do something!

A PDA can do so many things, but I think people use the calendar function most. An electronic calendar has several advantages over regular ones. The biggest in my opinion is that you can synchronize it with one or more computers. You can have the same calendar at home, at work and on the road. The biggest advantage of that is if you loose your PDA you still have all your data left. If you loose a regular calendar it's gone.
Another great thing about PDA-calendars is the search function. You can easily search through your whole calendar in a matter of seconds.
It's also very easy to edit the info in a PDA-calendar. Sure you can do that in a regular one as well, but it usually looks pretty messy afterwards.

Does anybody care about these ratings anyway? Dealers? Parents? Buyers?
I never liked all those extra programs, I just want the browser. I think Firebird is a nice version of Mozilla.
You got it all mixed up. Everyone copies using Xerox'es. :-)

Haha!
The eMac sounds good for you, starting at $799.

No, but it's like... Hey, get Safari for free! (If you have Jaguar). Get iCal! (If you have Jaguar).

Hahaha, you fit into his description perfectly!
Yeah? But when there are no more Atari 800's around I think he'll be pretty sorry he broke his.
I think it's sad to see old hardware ripped apart like this. It's just as sad as people ripping nice old cars apart to make butt-ugly hot rods...
