Without Benjamin Franklin's entreaties to the French for aid in the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army would certainly have suffered defeat at the hands of the British. For a man to tirelessly crusade for his country like Franklin did at his age and in a time when travel was no simple matter is astounding. Anyone with a quarter of that man's patriotism, devotion, and tenacity could move mountains.
Don't forget that if you're a college student or work at a college or university, you can often get a license for Office X very cheaply. The school that I work at offers it for just a few dollars. Check with your college bookstore or computer store before shelling out big bucks.
Here in the USA the restrictions are probably even tighter. A lot of DJs run mixes out of iTunes or an iPod, sometimes even doing it as a favor at a family member's low-rent wedding (not me, I swear!). There are even boxes for doing mix-downs between two iPods. I guess we can expect a crackdown here any day now.
My understanding of the legal definition of a corporation is that it provides some kind of useful product or service to the population. These lawsuit factories provide absolutely no useful function whatsoever except to the people who own them or are employed by them (probably just lawyers). Why are they allowed to continue to exist? Why won't Congress just pass a law streamlining the process for revoking the corporate charter of a company who does nothing but shake down other companies?
You could burn the podcast to an audio CD and use an inexpensive portable player. That's what we're doing at the art gallery where I work until I convince the curators to let me put up a podcast for our exhibitions.
Perhaps the new PC could prmopt the user at first login to choose clients for the various protocols. Thunderbird could be available as an alternative to Outlook Express, and some alternatives to the commercial chat programs could also be available. I like that idea.

Are you kidding? The NSA would love it... more wire for them to tap!

Sapple?
On the PCs I use, Thunderbird is my only choice for email, but on the Mac I'm still married to Mail.app. Don't make me choose!
I wonder if that engineer is watching his stock in the magnetic tape manufacturers to see if it goes up.

I think Bob and Doug talked about that on Great White North, eh?

They should bundle on of those GPS gizmos with the backpacking and tour guides. C'mon, it's only 0.496 KM to the Eiffel Tower!
Is this going to affect services like Tivo?
