Nah. Windows may be an exception to this rule... it is my humble opinion that Windows peaked at 3.11. Anyone who has ever used ME (Version 4.something) will agree that 3.11 was better.
>didnt he run in president Lincoln's election as an incumbent?
Nah, that was James Buchanan (although a number of people voted for Pat Buchanan by mistake;). oh well)... Orrin Hatch ran in the election four years earlier and lost to Buchanan (now that would be bad...)
Plus those 'old' computers are a lot more durable than ones made today.
I have a ten-year-old hard drive that I took out of my old 386 in March. I tried to take it with me back to college, but on the way my car slid on ice, and wrecked. The hard drive worked perfectly even after being put through that beating, and being left in the car in freezing weather for two days. So yes, I'd say it's durable.
The thing about these "necessary" things to use against terrorism is that they almost always end up being abused. It's sort of similar to the traffic cameras that were installed in Baltimore. Do they cause people to drive better? Probably not. But do they make Baltimore tons of money in traffic tickets (including tickets even when there is no violation)? You bet. A few years ago, I was in Baltimore and turned right on a red light, which is legal in Maryland, unless the intersection is marked with a sign indicating the opposite, which this instersection wasn't. A few weeks later, along comes a $75 ticket for running a red light, and the picture clearly indicated that wasn't the case. I ended up paying the ticket because it simply wasn't worth going all the way back to Baltimore to fight it.
So basically, the point of this rant is that the system mentioned in the article may or may not increase security, but it will lead to abuse.
I'm probably the only person crazy enough to use Program Manager in XP... it gives the feel of Windows 3.1. Unfortunately, good ol' File Manager isn't there in XP, and there's no system tray in Program Manager.

I'll believe his apology when he delivers it in person to everyone who ever got a spam e-mail
More likely, he'll just spam his apology to everyone.
I worked at a McDonald's last summer, and um... I was never involved in anything... but don't eat the chicken nuggets. Just don't.
