Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the net against her will, including her: * home address * age * cell phone number * husband's name etc. YOU did that, you evil *******! And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ost > Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:18:00 -0600 MicroPlanet-Gravity/3.0.4 She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop. So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group. -sw ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin favorite, right off the Usenet! In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ost > 3/18/2011 3:49 PM Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1162 readnews.com - News for Geeks and ISPs fa35d278.newsreader.readnews.com Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then after having your nose rubbed in your filthy criminal stalking you came back with, not an apology, nor the slightest remorse, just this: "The facebook group is much more pleasant." But we all know that's only because you cower over there in mortal fear of being booted by the FB admins. You're _so done_ here virus, I mean really ****ing done. I'm making you a project like no other, expect a lot more of your evil abuse and hatred to be aired for all to see here. And we both know there's a google archive full of your hatred of women just waiting to be hung out on the virtual clothesline to dry. Enjoy then, you rotten, worthless misogynistic *******! |

They want to make the previous versions of Windows incompatible with the latest Intel processors. Their vision is their latest OS driving the newest hardware. Just like the old days!

IBM dropped the ball, as IBM thought the money was gonna be in the hardware of the PC. Bill Gates and MicroSUCKS made the very shrewd business decision to buy outright a stinkly simple text based operating system called QDOS (for Quick and Dirty Operating System(, rebranded it as MS-DOS and LICENSED it not only to IBM but also to any Tom, Dick and Smarmy who could throw a hardware box together and speciously call it "100% IBM compatable"!!!

IBM dropped the ball, as IBM thought the money was gonna be in the hardware of the PC. Bill Gates and MicroSUCKS made the very shrewd business decision to buy outright a stinkly simple text based operating system called QDOS (for Quick and Dirty Operating System(, rebranded it as MS-DOS and LICENSED it not only to IBM but also to any Tom, Dick and Smarmy who could throw a hardware box together and speciously call it "100% IBM compatable"!!! And that is why the PC market dominated the personal computing market for so long!! John Kuthe... --- I kind of forgot about them until you mentioned them. I do remember when I first started working, they were considered the giants and we thought they'd take over the world! Then my friend's boyfriend got a job for Hewitt Packard and he thought they would take over the world My how things have changed! |

Heck, this sounds like a shrewd move on IBM's part. IBM didn't drop the ball - they were trying to cover theirs. My wife spent some time learning IBM new OS/2 system. Hoo boy, that was some slick system. It seemed at the time this would be the future of computing. Then MS came out with Windows 3.X - and the rest is history. |

You do know that IBM partnered with Micro$oft to produce OS/2, don't you? In fact, the 'look and feel' of OS/2 went on to be used by Micro$oft in their Windows 3.X efforts. For that matter, OS/2 still exists in the form of 'eComStation'. -- Xeno |

There was a point where Apple decided to keep everything in-house and whoever it was (I thought it was IBM) decided open-source was the way to go. Two different philosophies and ways of doing business. One wanted to complete control of everything from concept to point of sales, the other was a free market approach. Personally, I don't like the Apple way and don't buy Apple products. -- sf |
