Actually, I remember how Apple had abandoned the ][ and ][+ owners and then gave upgrades to the//e (to the IIGS - actually, this was the final straw), the/// (to the///+). the//c (to the//c+), the Lisa (two upgrades, ultimately to the early Mac). As far as OSes, what came after DOS, CP/M, ProDOS, UCSD, Fig-forth and Forth-79? I ran all of them and used DOS 3.3 patched to support 40 track drives (Apple only had 35 track drives. I ran on cassette for three years before I could afford a floppy drive). I never did get a hard drive for it, I had already moved on to a 286 AT clone by then.
The thing is, I learned to love and respect Woz and despise Jobs.
The C64 was an copy (put out years later) of the Apple ][ with 16k more memory (stock Apple ][ maxed out at 48k installed but had eight expansion slots) and a less reliable tape interface. The TRS-80 maxed out at 16k of memory and with a 4mhz Z-80, was slower than the 1mhz 6502 in either the Apple ][ or the C64. The Atari 400 and 800 models were similar to the C64 with slightly less memory and the same 6502 microprocessor.
My Apple ][(purchased in 1977) was eventually expanded to include 128k memory, AppleSoft ROMs, 40 char lower case display Z-80 CP/M coprocessor board, dual 160k floppies, 80column display card and monitor, serial and parallel ports, and modem before I put it aside in 1984 after Apple cut off support.
Which Apple ][ BASIC are you talking about? I extensively used both Wozniak's Integer BASIC (original ][) and the AppleSoft BASIC supplied on cassette and later incorporated in the AppleSoft ROM board and the Apple ][+,//e, and//c. While there were a small number of bugs in AppleSoft (produced under license from MicroSoft), I don't remember any bugs with Integer BASIC or the Sweet16 virtual machine interpreter included in the original ROMs.
For full disclosure: I am a published author of Apple ][ series software (Nibble magazine).
Dell has submitted an intellectual property claim on 'cloud computing'. I'd love to see a MS-Dell war over the idea of 'cloud computing'. While they're busy, the rest of the world can just leave them both behind!
Umm, I have two degrees (BS, MBA) from an IVY school (Cornell) that is also a state school (parts of Cornell are also part of the State University of New York). Please do not generalize school quality from a football SPORTS grouping. There are other high-quality schools that are not in this small group of seven schools - and the quality of education does vary among the departments of each school.
...redistribute them to his victims...
Never going to happen in the US without a separate class action suit that will pay off a few more lawyers and leave next to nothing for the victims.
You know, God can be a little time-challenged sometimes, a side effect of being omniscient (order of things gets mixed up). This law explains Hurricane Katrina; God's punishment for this law, as well as Huey Long.

Because it isn't in any of the three Best Buys closest to my home. I have learned from my experiences trying to find an eeepc that Best Buy cannot be relied to carry items in their stores, even when they are advertised in the local paper.
I just took a quick read through the previous responses and there are many good suggestions. But there is one additional author who wrote many books, both SF and Fantasy for pre-teens not mentioned; Andre Norton wrote great books about young people placed in difficult situations. One of my absolute favorites is Star Man's Son. You can check out her (yes her - Norton was a pseudonym) work at http://www.andre-norton.org/
Except, this isn't about prior restraint - preventing people from using pseudonyms or portraying themselves as pretter, or smarter, or thinner, or less elderly. This is about deceit to do harm to another person - in this case, contributing to a death. We don't live in a society where each incident of law breaking is punished. We would have clean streets if each cigarette butt thrown on the ground was a cause for a littering charge. Selective prosecution is a fact of our society and we rely on the courts to ensure it doesn't become a problem. I'm Count Froggy here and that happens to be an obvious pseudonym. But John Smith may be less obvious as a pseudonym but still be okay unless I try to be taken as a PARTICULAR John Smith. At that point, it becomes identity theft and fraud.
When an adult woman impersonates a 13 year old girl (who is a living person, known to the target), that is fraud. I agree an actor or comedian playing a role is not fraud. Using a pseudonym is not fraud, either.
But to intend to deceive another person for purposes of personal gain, whether monetary or not, is fraud.
I understand the Excel/Word/Powerpoint combo; I see them often. I find it interesting that the other application you need is the one I have NEVER seen in a commercial/business setting, not even as a personal copy. As a consultant, I have access to a variety of clients' systems in the course of my work and as a geek, I discuss software with many people; I've never seen anyone using Onenote. I played with an early trial version and found an okay app. On Windows, it is easily surpassed by Evernote. As previously mentioned, Zoho and Google have on-line notebooks that serve well. Notescribe is another low cost (time-limited) shareware alternative, and there are several freeware programs that I've seen that are similar. Personally, I simply extract the information I need and put it into Palm Desktop, which I've used for twelve years; that way, the info is also available to me when 'out and about'. I don't want to deal with the data in the original format; if I did, I'd keep a copy of the original file! Others have mentioned the Linux apps.
BTW, the pricing you give is WAY out of line from reality for many of us; the license is for "qualified Educational Software and Educational computer/pc games users only". Guess what; Adults need not apply.
There is a reason Accenture has a reputation of 'pulling up to a client in a school bus'. But, it is a good way to get the experience you will need in the future. Just get used to airplanes and hotels.

There are some people who live in Delaware, I've even met a few who work and live there. There is even one county (New Castle) where the people outnumber the chickens!
Where's the future in it? All the jobs are going to the new slave labor from India, working at rates well below a living wage for people who have to actually PAY for their education. Why go into a job with no future? You can still do IT as a hobby while you do something that pays the bills.
Last week, I returned a defective MP3 player to the manufacturer for warranty replacement. Before it died, I had 8gig of legal copies of music I BOUGHT. Fortunately, I was able to connect it to a computer and delete the data, because if I had not been sophisticated enough to do that, by RIAA 's dreams, I would have been 'making available'.
This situation has degenerated to where the RIAA and it's cohorts potentially make more money from lawsuits that actual sales of content.

Instead of:
'Nanomaterials More Dangerous Than We Think',
How about:
'Nanomaterials MAY BE More Dangerous Than SOME PEOPLE Think'
Reading /. is getting more like the tabloids every day!
Let me know when your product is OS independent.
So says the website and my experience with it. Synchs start and never end (>hour). I've moved to Foxmarks and password exporter for now.

Impersonating someone else is fraud in the US.
As to the guy currently living in the White House; I may not like that he is the current President, but he is the President (GOD HELP US!)

If the news is bad/unpleasant/not politically 'correct', don't kill the messenger - just don't read it!
Do you know why Camden NJ doesn't have a professional baseball team? If Camden had one, Philadelphia would want one too!
