In some schools they require an iPad for the ebook app that schools use for books and other things. It does not run on the PC. So Apple has a lock-in there. People are stopping buy…

Atari like Commodore didn't market their new systems that much. It was mostly magazines and word of mouth. At least in the USA it was that way. Still they both controlled the home …

I had an Atari Lynx and about 30 games. I had a carrying case and wall adapter as well because it ate batteries like crazy. I gave it to a friend who had a computer museum. There i…

AmigaDOS was developed on SunOS Workstations that were modified. I don't think the Zorro bus was as good as ISA or PCI and the A600 was like you said it was. The Amiga needed a net…

The Amiga had emulators to run DOS and Mac software. Sort of the OS/2 effect where they ran DOS and 16 bit Windows apps so there was no need for native OS/2 apps. Commodore had a n…

Can they regrow teeth as well? What about gum disease?

Very good guilt trip of Elliot. I wonder if his father shows up again in season 4, now that he is a hallucination.

It is more of a denial of service for Gab because they allow anything on their site instead of policing it like Hacker News here and having a code of conduct. Gab went to Mastodon …

Gab allows Free Speech and does not have a code of conduct or ban or censor anyone. They claim this is freedom and the code of conduct is fascism. Anyone who writes a racist commen…

I was great at Visual BASIC 6.0 until Dotnet came out. I had years of experience in VB 6.0 but nothing in C# or VB.Net. Technology passed me by, and the same thing happened when I …

No business plan, no vision, lack of leadership, tried to copy Twitter and Facebook. Even Yahoo 360 was better.

Usually they staff a female minority in HR to make up for lack of diversity in other departments. In some companies I worked at they upgraded a administrative assistant to supervis…

With Apple making the Mac Pro so expensive it opens up the grey market for Hackintosh PCs to run MacOS at a fraction of the cost. If Apple wants to beat the Hackintosh they need an…

Keep yourself alive. Keep looking for work, and stay active and exercise as well. Take care of your illness because it is a tough world out there.

Goodwill won't take them as donations anymore, and it costs money to dispose of one because of the chemicals in it. The Commodore 8 bit crowd has been buying them up as there are w…
