well if you want to get to the "those were the days" era, when I was in 10th grade, thats the first time we *ever* saw a computer(in India), and typing in DOS terminal was "kewl", seeing the dirs and files pass the screen when you typed the magic mantra: dir mind you without the/p or/w option to make it seem we were hacking into the server or something:D DOS, QBASIC, TURTLE (flashback..)
do they charge for the movie ticket or is it free (free as in charge_no_money)? and am I free to edit it and re-release?
on a serious note, would it not be awesome to have a movie like that, released on a website, free for us to download and watch.. like those atomfilms?
So tell me what did Microsoft give us other than a combination of other peoples technologies and ideas?
MS gave us something to rant about, at workplace, at geek meets, with frnds, at Slashdot and vola.. time just flies by! I am proud of MS..
"I have just completed a project to build a mac-mini into the wall of my kitchen. It is hidden and everything works perfectly."
I have just ripped that macmini off the wall, the parts and wires are now visible, and nothing works for the poor guy.. oh and I am being hunted..
gimme a break! is it monday yet?
"his writing makes people all over the world cry, shout in disbelief, emotional.. sometimes happy and sometimes brings about revolutionary changes, so WHO is this HE? He writes error messages for Windows"
I guess it has to be free, because it is pointless to have it paid, and I might say that even WEP is kinda losing its value, because in a recent announcement, our univ (UNM) announced that they wont have any more WEP or restriction to wifi by registering mac adds, and hence its open to all.. though we might have to log-in using our IDs (at some point later, I "guess")
havent read the previous posts but drop in prices was inevitable.. they had to dispose the powerpc pieces to get themselves ready for intel.. well this might not be the case with mac lovers where they might cherish the last of the powerpc but economically speaking...

ahem, I am not sure if anybody else saw this but CISCO has SCO in it.. just an observation :)
"open" the source slowly and seductively.. I am definitely having fun! errr and getting info too....
and then we would have another story once the beta is out.. but with the same links and screenshots, what we call here a dupe!

Now someone tell me how Microsoft prices Windows XP $20 cheaper than the same PC with a free operating system.
:)
simple math! it is because XP is worth -$20
I now doubt those figures of "90% of desktops on earth have Windows OS".. hmmn that definitely must have included the pirated ones..
offtopic maybe but why did they host the pages on tripod rather than on a NASA server? fear of slashdotting ;)
ways to advertise your product
1) billboards
2) tech magazines
3) google adsense
Or better submit a story to Slashdot!
