Hay, I'm so old I remember (details fuzzy) that PCs with CPM (Control Program for Microcomputers) had no BIOS to worry about. You make a boot floppy that defined your hardware. zenray
Outlook personal data files *.pst files hold the archived data. The copy of the Exchange database is in the *.ost file. Let microsoft release that file format and we might be able to replace the Exchange data store.
The way to go is the 8 bit SCSI card, my friend. Adaptec ST01 is what you want. Actually, a 8-bit IDE host adapter should be fine. I might even have one of those as well. I just scrapped a SCSI floppy drive a few weeks ago. Reply if you're interested...
The old Zenith Electronics that made radios and TVs when it was run be the engineers it was a great company. Great hardware. Later when the bean-counters took over it went downhill untill they sold out to LG Electroncs (GoldStar). Nothing left of Zenith except a brand name.
The only book store I've been in that has seperate sections for Science Fiction and Fantasy is called books-a-million. Wonderful store, large selection on sci-fi books.
Being out of work now for a while I applied for an "SAP HR business analysis" even though I have very little HR or SAP training. Much to my surprise the University of Texas called me in for an interview. They had 'reciently implemented the HR SAP' and are now looking for people to 'fine tune' it to make it run correctly. They could not find any trained HR types with this knowledge so they interviewed me - an IT type. One comment they made was 'not to make any interface programming changes because after they update it gets overwritten'. There exists a great lack of SAP trained HR and ERP and payroll type of IT support people. The training and education to get this knowledge is very expensive. An artificial shortage designed to keep profits up for SAP.
What the educational field needs is not another GNU/Linux distro for them - there is k12ltsp that's been around a long time. Also the new eumbuntu distro. There exist several school districts that have implemted Linux in some form already. What would be more usefull is a new batch of 'killer apps' that the education field uses. Also cheep traning, support, and maybe a freshmeat type repository of these type of things. What Novell may have is company name brand supporting them.
If Dell really supported Linux they should sell them at Wal-Mart also.
I've yet to see any advertising from Dell about the new Linux systems for sale.

Not sure about airplanes with underbelly cameras, even though it sounds like a good idea. (LOL) I do know that down here in Texas along the border the State goverment has a whole lot of internet linked cameras looking at sections of the Rio Grande River. At least they did a few months ago. A test program that I think will come back. Over by Falcon Dam, a few miles north-west of my location, the ICE, Border Patrol or somebody has a tethered blimp monitering the border. It gets blown around in bad weather. At this point they don't have enough Border Patrol types to monitor all this so they use National Guard troups untill they can recruite and train some more agents.
"Those of us who have been in the IT arena for a while remember installing our favorite OS, network client, power application, etc. by feeding the computer what seemed an endless supply of 5.25" soft floppy disks.
The first job I had at Zenith Electronics about 25 years ago had me building a dual 8 inch floppy drive Heath Kit that I had to use. I recall when a single sided, single density floppy for the Commodore 64 cost around $8.00. I had to buy a USB floppy for a system at work because some POS software assumed that data backup went to drive A: and I could not convince the user to use a mapped portion of her hard drive instead. I remenber several applicatins assuming that drive A: existed.
At my former job Microsoft did this to us already. We were one company with two divisions that had individual accounts with Microsoft. Stupid, but that was the way that the owner wanted it. Anyway Microsoft was reviewing the size of the company (from what source I don't know) and only one of the division's software purchase from them and demanded an audit claiming that we did not purchase enough software to run a busniess the size we were. They implyed that we must be 'pirateing' some software. It was a major PITA combining audit data from both divisions.
001234 as stated in the link. But to be fair it also stated in very big bold type that this default master password should be changed. The fact the master password remains unchanged is a user error in the setup and not a design flaw. Every master password not changed was left that way by 'somebody'. That 'somebody' needs to sued (or beaten severly about the head and shoulders with a security clue stick) for allowing easy access to the money. Unless they were ordered by managment to leave it as defaulted.
The biggest complaint I've had from people I get using OpenOffice.Org is the lack of Impress templates. I hope "they" come up with some good ones because everybody knows that the 'bad' MS Power Point templates are causing brain damage.
I must call BS on this. "When you run the tool from the Web site http://www.microsoft.com/ , the tool always displays a user interface (UI)." This method does not install anything like you stated but every other method does.

This DOD roadmap to use open source methodoligies - as well as the open source software is a GOOD THING.
Watch for details about the DOD goverment GPL license to come.

Damm it. Where is the spoiler alert when you need one! I just started re-reading the DUNE books and now the plot is ruined for me.

I won't use a debit card untill they make crediting the account just as fast as a debit action. In other words, never.

The official 64 bit Slackware comes just in time because the 32 bit OS will die in 2008. reference: http://catb.org/esr/writings/world-domination/world-domination-201.html
I'm looking to use my old C64. After all, I got plenty of old TV's that won't work without a converter box now.

I know of a DME company that still runs a lot of 16 bit DOS code for their major apps. They are so not going to migrate up to Vista.
The IT department will die just as soon as the last mainframe is unplugged.
According to Ben Bova in his book _The Green Trap_ by genetically altered cyanobactria. Of course!

The Last time I checked Zenith Electronics had an entire class B block.
