Customizer 104. Think Lexmark Model M (bastardized version of The Keyboard, the IBM Model M), but with Windows keys, and a Unicomp logo, instead of an IBM logo. Actually, it is the same technology as the Model M, as Unicomp bought Lexmark's keyboard division. Lexmark was a spinoff of IBM that made keyboards and printers (still makes printers, and tries to use the DMCA against those who make off-brand cartridges).
I don't know if it was made with a Swedish layout, but the Lexmark Model M (from 1993 until Unicomp bought The keyboard division - capitalization intentional) was quieter (it also felt cheaper), and had drainage channels. I think in early 1993 IBM added drainage channels to the original Model M, then they spun off Lexmark, which is when Model M quality fell off.
WHAT? Umm... the parent was asking whether it was right about DishNetworks being the same company that ran DirectTV. Two replies at 3:52PM stated that he was wrong. You're implying redundancy, which isn't the case, seeing as they were posted within 60 seconds of each other.
AFAIK, UPN IS owned by Viacom, so it's CBS AND UPN. Of course, if I had a pick of ten channels, I'd pick the following:
4 (WCMH NBC) (maybe) 6 (WSYX ABC) 10 (WBNS CBS) (really shaky on this one, but it's local) 28 (WTTE FOX) 34 (WOSU PBS) TechTV (sorry, but freakin robots with freakin flippers on their freakin front ends is too freakin cool) Animal Planet (to laugh at Steve Irwin) (insert news channel(s) here) (insert some C-Span channel here or something)
I might go to this this year, seeing as OSU is only 30-45 minutes away (damn, that's closer than Central Ohio Technical College, and I go there every Monday and Wednesday!)
Actually, you're a bit off here. Think of it like this:
AT&T has GSM 1900 (think AM radio in your analogy). They want to add GSM 850 (FM) for some reason, and all new towers will be GSM 850. However, rather than convert the 1900 towers to 850, they are ADDING 850, making it more widespread (and popular).
iDEN, Nextel's protocol, also supports SIM cards. I think Nextel is actually a hybrid iDEN/GSM network, and when you're not in the US, you have to obtain a GSM phone that will accept a Nextel SIM (Nextel sells one for $300).
Example: You are with Sprint from 555-0000 and move to AT&T. Your phone is programmed with your ROUTING# 555-1234. You can place calls, but not receive them. Your old phone is still fully functional, so you can RECEIVE/PLACE calls there). AT&T initiates a port request to Sprint. They send Sprint a request with your Name/Addr/Cell#/Acct#/. Sprint setups the link in their systems to Switch/Forward your calls to AT&T. Once the link on Sprints end is completed that allows INCOMING calls to move from Sprint to AT&T and through their switches and to your cell phone via a cross reference to your assigned routing#. Your Sprint account is also closed at this point and your old phone stops working. But ALL your incoming calls go to the carrier who owns your number, and is then sent to your current carrier. This is transparent with GSM as all programming is done Over the Air.
If you have a routing number in your phone, and you call it; you will get someone else as routing numbers are actual phone numbers, but are internal only. All numbers are now used twice. Once as a link from phone to network (routing#, internal, dynamic), and once as a link between network and the world (dialable#, external, static). With the way this system works, they all started with your MIN==MDN, but when you change carriers and as more and more inter/intra-company ports are setup, your routing# will be given to someone else, and will most likely never be a match to your dialable# again.
Your phone# only goes as far as the company who owns it.
So, let's say you have 123-555-0000 with Nextel. It ports in a couple days to your AT&T phone with a MIN of 123-555-1111. You get fed up with AT&T in a week, and switch to, say, Sprint, and get a MIN of 123-555-2222. So, if what you're saying is right, it DOES port from Nextel to Sprint, not AT&T to Sprint, right? That must explain why it took 12 hours for a former Nextel number to port, when a new AT&T number (MIN = MDN) took two weeks, and then we canceled it...
Actually, Sprint phones have a SIM port that is VERY accessible (especially the Nokia 3588i), and Nextel, though not GSM, DOES use a SIM card - at least both the i50sx AND the i60c...
I once had a box running Win98SE that bluescreen+locked up about twice a week, and I KNEW it was spywared (by the manufacturer, no less). Threw Win2K on it, and it was quite stable (when the motherboard wasn't screwing up - I will never buy HP computers again).
Because most people don't know that *insert older version here* is sometimes better than *insert current version here*, and buy the box with the current version. They just run whatever comes with the box. Of course, on my parents' box, I offered to install Windows 2000, but they wanted to just get XP. They occasionally get annoyed by the handholding;-)
OpenOffice too slow on 500MHz? I've used OOo on a 466 Celery with Win2K, and it was very close to usable. SO7 was VERY usable, and I never tried OOo 1.1 (the box was a crappy HP box, and the mobo died - twice)
It never threw up popups for me, and I'm running on my grandmother's spyware-laden XP box with IE, where popups come up just for looking at it the wrong way. Of course, one of these spyware apps could be a popup blocker...
Of course, if you want a Linux or Windows emulator, your link won't work - emulation.net is only for Mac-based emulators.
The really good emulator would probably be Apple II Oasis. I know that the site isn't how you described it, but (AFAIK) it's the only emu with disk image transfer software. The only problem is that the software in the shareware version can only transfer ~300KB before it expires, and the emulator will only run for 20 minutes before it quits.
You should see one box at my school. P3-866, 128MB RAM, XP Pro SP1. It's a print server for the classroom's HP WinPrinter, but due to configs being borked, it's the only one that can print to that printer. I FOUND roughly 200 (20 unique) pieces of spyware, and I know it didn't catch them all. Plus, many of the apps did fight back, and it's gotten REALLY bad. Of course, on a low RAM system, it's not idling at 100% CPU - it's idling at 16% free (that number thanks to some piece of spyware that reports RAM usage).
Pfft... these were probably dorm computers. BTW, just because it's locked down, doesn't mean it's not spywared. My school has about 60 computers, six of which (one being the server) aren't spywared (ha ha! my five Win2K installs are holding up!)

No, the Model M weighs about 5 pounds. BTW, the EnduraPro/104 (and the On The Stick - 104 key version) from Unicomp (who bought Lexmark's keyboard division, who was a spinoff of IBM's keyboard and printer divisions) are essentially Lexmark-era (ugh - fake Model Ms) Model Ms with trackpoints. IBM also made one of these.

I actually won't pirate music produced by an RIAA member label, let alone purchase it...
Actually, it worked in Opera 7.50p2, set to ID as MSIE 6.0.
No, I'm comparing it to the Lexmark Model M, which feels VERY cheap compared to the original model M (the 139 one, not the 42H one).
