I worked for NetComm Australia when it was four of us in Ray's house in North Rocks. Ray and Luke where the ICL hardware engineers and Owen and I the Burroughs software guys (we did a version of Burroughs ALGOL on the Apple II to avoid both BASIC or Assembler).

I remember when Ray and Luke raised a big cheer one day when they got the first character to transfer between two Apple IIs with their networking card.

Apple Australia were enthusiastic. Ray and Luke's next project was to do a modem card. That actually became the basis of NetComm business.

Owen left, and he and I went on to do SNA for Burroughs machines at American Express. However, we did not get funding for that, and I returned to doing work for NetComm, but it was more Macintosh by then in MacApp. So I was one of the first people doing OO, at least in this country. Shame Apple wrecked MacApp with C++.

I got a Philips 32E1N5800L 4K 32" monitor for $A400 (around $US300). Anything 5K was over $1,000. I avoid Samsung.

Enjoying the article and very timely since I upgraded to the 16 Pro from a 7 Plus, so am interested in getting the most for what is an expensive phone.

But the phrase 'use cases' is grating. It is not what it actually means. It is a sloppy yet pretentious management tautology phrase that has been usurped from a technical meaning. Someone must have heard technical people using 'use case' but didn't understand what it meant. All that is needed is 'uses', or better 'needs', 'requirements', etc.

Ho hum, the old boring whatever <political party> must be to blame, most typically Labour.

I can see how the interpretation is destroying previous things, but I think the interpretation should or could be all of those things being put into a single device.
Perhaps a better visual would be all those things being sucked into a box like a wormhole in a non-destructive way, and out comes the iPad.
