  • I remember, makes me feel old. I remember Mark being the first mod I talked to, damn he was a good guy. And good at being a mod. That was really AI's hayday for me. TONs of information, very active forums, well represented by their people. Mayb…
  • Thanks guys, glad you liked em. Jobs is a very interesting man, the biography "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs" that came out last year was very well done. And the fact that he tried to stop it even though it was a positive take on him tells you…
  • From the horse's mouth: I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I'm only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I've got at least one more great computer in me. And…
  • AHAHAHHAAHAH OK, I am satisfied. With what has been said here.
  • First, don't be a smart ass. On that note I did not bother to list things you didn't answer because it would simply have taken us further off track. Second, you asked me to list things, I am. Do you dispute my claim about Apple's OS GUI? I h…
  • An OS GUI with: pull down menus, over lapping windows, window "panes," the analogy of a "desktop," files and folders that depict their type by their icon, the trash can metaphor, the concept of the piece of paper desktop layout [most important it…
  • Groverat - Yes, its not like I have a shortage, but I want to keep you actually answering my questions, which is something you have avoided, you have just been flaming back and forth with Sinewave, thats fine, you both seem to be going at it hon…
  • groverat - you listed several things as innovations by MS and asked me why they aren't, please tell me why they are to be considered innovations. in response to what has Apple innovated: FireWire IEEE1394 was the first high bandwidth, hot …
  • I responded to your above posts: TCP/IP was not MS, it was open source UNIX well prior to Microsoft including any kind of networking in 3.1.1. Office and IE are not innovations in any way that I can tell, please clarify. The fact that Windo…
  • So Groverat - you name stuff MS has innovated and I will name stuff Apple has done. We'll see who has a longer .... list. Up to the challenge?
  • I am naming innovations that happened places other than Microsoft that we use every day. And MS has been rumored to be trying to supplant TCP/IP, if you have some magical evidence to show that they helped create it please post it. Here are lin…
  • more? ok ... here is some more stuff that we all use everyday that MS did not make. Anyone care to tell me where each of these was innovated, I honestly don't know for all of them, just a portion. IM web browsing networking, including local ta…
  • OK, I am back, I just can't stay away. Mostly I want to hear the answer to Sinewave's innovation question. What has MS innovated? Not DOS - see QDOS Not Office - bought from outside Not IE - bought from outside Not the Windows GUI - hell…
  • OK, you know what, you have made me tired of the discussion, I have read the rulings, a couple times, I am not ignorant of the law, Groverats questions are ignorant of the law, Belle, I like you but you are trying to sidestep it all by saying that e…
  • OK Belle, Lets not do more than one point at a time, otherwise we will diverge. so... first: Microsoft has a monopoly on the OS market - this limits their legal ability to do things that would be legal if they were not a monopoly. Exa…
  • The Appeals Court ruled that MS's reason's for bundling IE with Windows did not prove any legitimate improvement for consumers and was illegal, it has also been shown that bundling is being done by MS not to connect the OS to the internet or multime…
  • My 2-3 times statement was just an expression of what the class action suit is all about - over charging. But you are right, MS should be allowed to make money, they are a company. On the other notes I am now digging for the PDF of the ruling.
  • Wow, I just reread you last post. Apple shouldn't depend on 3rd party companies, so you think they should dumb developers? IE is the best? -- no. and yes I would say that NSC6.2 is equal with IE 5.1 This is about two things: stifling compe…
  • Groverat- I just read some of your posts, you need to be more informed, post your email and I will send you the ruling of the Appeals Court against MS. It is point by point, about 124 or 125 pages, worth reading. Oh, and sorry but MS has hurt…
