Doing the math, according to the Apple Museum, it would have come out in 1987. I refute the credibility of the source you've quoted.
As well, don't knock OS/2... It was a huge part of the Windows and OS/2 development. With Big Blue backing Microsoft, the legal coffers were a lot deeper than Apple's.
Microsoft, in turn, stole/borrowed the GUI from Apple and their version didn't actually become useful until 1992 or so, with Win 3.1!
Actually, Microsoft teamed with IBM to create OS/2.
In fact, Windows 3.0 and OS/2 1.3 were a collaberative effort and were released at the same time in 1990. Both had a very similar gui.
The kicker is that OS/2 1.0 was released in 1987 with a GUI. Windows 1.0 (released in 1985) was also released with a really crude gui, that was in no way a rip off of anything else out there (it was quite ugly and lame compared to OS/2)
Yeah, Seattle's nice. A 150ft wave would probably get slowed down a lot by the Peninsula. Not stopped, but it'll probable just trickle in the Puget Sound and drown the waterfront. Pike Place Market will be gone for sure;) Too bad - really cool place.
But you're also close to Baker and St. Helen's... Baker's a dormant Volcano that can erupt too. So is Ranier AFAIK. It appears that y'all are surrounded by volcanos...
As well, I remember the last earthquake we had... We have other things to worry about other than a Tsunami...
Not business apps, not scientific apps, and certainly not Mom and Dad word processing or desktop publishing their way to fame and fortune.
I'm sure IBM and Motorola would disagree with that. I'd bet Apple (who buys from IBM) would disagree with you. I'd bet Sun disagrees with you.
In fact, maybe the only business that would agree with you would perhaps be HP with their now defunct Alpha product (Started by Digital and destroyed by Compaq).

Repeat after me: Games are not the only driving force behind processor performance.
And the most amazing part is that he probably hasn't made a tonne of money off of it either... It's a gamble that might never pay off, and I applaude that he took that risk.
Totally! I do that too! Truth is everyone I've used that tactic with is glad I moved them over, and didn't put up much of a fuss either. Only one person said "But I like IE..."
Sure, and I'd like to screw that hot babe with herpes, but I know better...
I somehow still contracted a nasty piece of spyware on my machine, and I was using FF. No clue where the hell I got it from though...
It rewrote my userinit registry key and I was unable to log on.
Luckily I was on a domain, and through computer management was able to turn the remote registry service on and get back in, and remove the infection, but it was still nasty.
Firefox isn't a solution to security / privacy, although it really does help. Truth is though, there are other ways to get spyware, for example ad-sponsored applications.
Bullcrap. I use FF and love it, but it suffers from some serious memory leaks. I've had to terminate the FF process a few times. I've seen it hit 60MB of memory usage, hardly what I'd call good performance.
I love FF for its security, and peace of mind, and it's pretty much reduced the amount of calls I make to people's homes to do spyware removal, but it isn't a be-all-end-all solution.

Sorry, didn't meant it that way - I meant don't knock OS/2's contribution to the GUI theft by Microsoft is all...
OS/2 was way nicer looking that Windows 1.0... I believe it had a large part of windows 3.0...
Copyright screen on Windows 1.0 reads 1985

Too bad too - I like snowboarding at Baker... Nice ski hill... Super cheap right now for us in Vancouver...
And yet Commodore ran circles around them until the early 90s, despite the miracle of the GUI.
Admittedly, Commadore, in 1985 was pumping out Amiga, which itself had a decent enough GUI...

Go read some history...
Actually, I thinky ou should go read some too...

Takes a lot of money and time to extradite someone. As well, he could try to claim refugee status which will tie it up even more.
Don't think for a second the Olympic Peninsula will protect you from a 150ft Tsunami. Might slow it down, but not stop it.
As well, don't forget that Baker is a dormant Volcano too. And not to mention there's an earthquake expected sometime on the West Coast too.
Remember the one we had a few years ago??? (I'm from Vancouver, BC - we felt it too...)
I wouldn't be so certain about the safety of Portland. An earthquake in the middle of the Pacific can take us out too on the West Coast.
When it comes, the dept. of Homeland Security will be right there to inform worried Americans that the Tsunami will unlikely be terror related ;)
Actually competition and innovation keeps CPU pricing down.
The bleeding edge will always be expensive, be it for servers or desktops.

The reason that we're all obsessed with Mhz is that it's the only performance guage offered.
If for example, processor makers started guaging their performance in MIPS (or BIPS) or something, it would make more sense I guess.
(someone will correct me if I'm wrong anyway lol)
I hope you seriously aren't suggesting PHP over J2EE...
The security holes in php compared to j2ee app servers... Ever heard of Weblogic?

An act of Congress empowers the FCC.
Down 10% is a plunge??? Considering they were below $3 In Nov, I'd say that they are still doing okay...
You wanted them to launch health, environment, education and alternative fuels into space on an unproven rocket?
;)
Why look at important things like those,when there's an important war on terror to wage in Iraq, and a missile defence shield to build
Wouldn't a perfectly valid defence be "it was an email, I deleted it, and I can't recall the name of my source" be simply adequate?
Uhm, I don't think you can use a proxy server to send spam AFAIK.
Isn't the video on the DVD nothing but Mpeg-2? Doesn't that mean that you can just yank the VOB files, rename the to .mpg and watch them?
Maybe I'm missing something...
Furthermore, why would theses sites be dumb enough to keep records on who their unofficial sources are? That's just bad.
Besides, it's up to the judge to force these guys to reveal their sources, and it's within their right to plea the fifth...
Apple will get nowhere fast.
