This *EXTREMELY RARE* operating system was the first release for the IBM-PC. Previously, different versions of GEOS had done very well with the Commodore 64 and Apple 2 line. This GUI-based OS was primarily used in businesses and schools, and seldom saw its way into the hands of the public. This was the very first version that was ever released for PC users. The welcome screen had three buttons, for the Appliances level, Professional level, and the DOS Room. In the first level, the user is greeted by large buttons for the calculator, Rolodex, planner, and notepad. These four apps run in full screen, and there is no multitasking or task-switching. In the Professional level, the user is exposed to all the applications, which can run in windows and multitask with one another. The screen could be filled with a background (wallpaper in Windows lingo) for some fancy decoration. The accessories included Clock, Calculator, GeoBanner, GeoComm, GeoDex, GeoPlanner, Notepad, and Scrapbook. The major applications were GeoManager, GeoDraw, GeoWrite, and Preferences. There was also an icon for the client software to America Online. (At that time, it was the only way to connect to AOL). The user interface was Motif, and a dark cyan color scheme was used. In the DOS Room, a button for the DOS prompt was the default entry. There was a utility for creating new buttons for running other DOS applications, and there was a broad selection of icons to choose from, including both generic and branded icons. This version was later followed by versions 2.0, and New Deal School Suite '98.
So, its just another slide rule.

Ginger is a stimulant like coffee; it will keep you awake and alert for a while. Ginger makes a tasty tea; just grind it up and steep it in hot or boiling water then sugar to taste. Ginger beer is good for a lift.
Also, watch what you eat. Carbohydrates make you sleepy, proteins and fats keep you awake.
So, have a ginger beer and a steak. Or if you a vegan/vegetairan, some Textured Vegitable Protein, like a vege-sausage.
Corn is good for making farm animals gain weight very quickly. Works on people, too. In a way, the farm animals are lucky, because they are killed and eaten before they have a chance to develop heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and other maladies caused by excess carbohydrate consumption
According to James Russell, USDA researcher working at Cornell, an all-grain diet is not natural to cattle. As ruminant animals, cattle are designed to consume and digest huge quantities of high-cellulose, low-nutrition grass. That's why they have four stomachs. "When you feed cattle 90 or 100-percent grain, it creates an acidosis in the rumen (stomach) and the rumen wall becomes ulcerated,"
"Russell said high-grain diets may cause other problems in cattle, such as bloating. He estimates that approximately three of every 1,000 cattle in feedlots die of grain-related disorders.
The fatty, starchy grain causes food to move slowly and sluggishly through a steer's digestive system, building up high levels of acid in the rumen.
About half the bicarbonate soda produced in the United States -- a common home treatment for stomach problems in humans -- is fed to cattle to help neutralize the acid in the rumen "
If the USA take care of this they will do it to save there own skins. The rest of the world can safly say "No, won't pay". For the USA to survive they HAVE TO DO IT, what are is the USA going to do? Only deflect the bit of the rock thats going to hit it... ?
Funny, I read ahead in the comments. Turns out the car is _not running 98 at all_ (its CE). So every post to this artile that does not take this into account should be modded redundant or offtopic.
And you are conducting business over an insecure medium like the internet then you are going to use strong cryptography to protect the contents of your communications. All that is left is traffic analysis. You can feed the watchers false and misleading information to make the analysis imposable.
If you don't do this you are stupid and disserve to get caught. If you are smart you will achieve your goals regardless of being watched.
