    ARRGH!

    The 286 XT was the first bastard! Then came the NEC V20 based XT clones. Hyundai made many, IIRC. The 20 MHz 8-Bit machine!

    Then there is the Harris-CPU AT, which got 25MHz on a 286 clone... That's another story!

    386SX, anyone?

    Some of the old AT cards would work in XT slots - that's why the notch was there! Half the card hangs out in space.

    That said, many Adaptec SCSI cards did not work in 8-bit XT slots - I can't recall the specifics for the 15x1 cards - because they justifiable required all 16-bits for a data pathway.

    CD ROM? on an XT/AT Compat?

    You better get an 8-Bit SCSI card and compatible external drive. Oh. 512k RAM? There's no high memory to load the driver!

    How could the Nazis purportedly capture, transport, process, murder, incinerate/bury, etc., 6,000,000 Jews, and all this while fighting WWII on at least three fronts?

    The Wehrmacht would have needed to gas more than 4,000 Jews per day, 7 days a week, for 4 years, to have murdered 6,000,000.

    The number exceeds the Jewish population of Europe in 1939. How were there survivors and their children?

    Even if this is not true, how can saying so be punishable by imprisonment in several "free" countries. Why is the holocaust considered a worse crime than the 300-year continuous torture and translocation of black Africans, who's deaths and suffering certainly dwarf any european experience, regardless of ethnicity?

    "Cyberwar" is a minor inconvenience, unless they DoS GPS and Satellite communications.

    It's propaganda, PsyOp distraction from things that matter. If a bunch of government shovelware is unavailable for a few hours, really the folks who benefit are you and me. And the folks who thrive on theses "scares" by setting "Threat Levels".
