#13 for starving people, which anyone living in a comunist regime is, food rations are worth gold. If not, ask the cuban children who once they hit 9 years, are taken of the milk ration chart.
And, I thought that macfans looked down on people not able to “afford” a mac. Is this mac welfare? was this an event for the mac disenfranchised?
#16 grow up, will you?
John, TitanTV.CoM for Free TV/Cable/Satalite listings & Video – Plus it can plugin to your DVR on a pc – They were going to open the API up so somthing like MythTV could access it – i don’t know what happened to that. But yea, you still have that cable card hoop – eh
John Fix your IPTVDaily.CoM site
I have a huge issue with Tv Guide. My local cable Tv service once ran it’s own channel listing online. They NewsCorp came along a bought that out, and shut it down. Before, you could get two weeks of advanced programming listings. Afterward, only one week. So as to NOT COMPETE WITH THE PUBLISHED TV GUIDE. That’s all TVG cared about, protecting sales of its overprice rag!! Since the buy out, I’ve used Zap2it.com, which works pretty well. I’m sure there are others. Hope so. But NewsCorp is a good example of why the anti-trust laws should be strengthen and/or better enforced. Because the big financial bullies, are out to destroy anything that might cost them some bucks.
The “25th anniversary of Commodore 64″? Who the flip cares anymore? Are there really people pining for the old days of 64k memory keyboard units, with 8 bit graphics? And why no “anniversary” ever, of the Amiga. A pretty decent little machine, that trumped the Mac and PC in its day. If it hadn’t been for Motorola holding back the processor development (Amiga’s used their CPU, as did Apple), and two greedy Commodore execs. We might still have those around, as serious competition for todays PCes. It was mainly the lack of hardware development that ended Amiga’s future. I was still using my A3000, until Win-XP SP1 came out. By then I figured that Windows had finally enough features to trump the Amiga’s 3.0 operating system. Win-98 had only matched it, and Win-Me was just plain trash.
So I can’t take seriously a celebration of a computer that only competed with the Apple-2.
John:
Sometimes I think your just plain mean. The C64 was not my first computer. My first computer was a Vic 20. The first ones I actually touched were a teletype type device, Commodore PET and a Radio Shack Model 1.
However the C64 launched a career in writing and computers that has been very successful for me. I loved my Commodore gear – Vic 20, C64, C128, Amiga 500, 2000, 4000.
I wrote several books before graduating from college, software, etc. some of it mass marketed.
I’m happy and sucessful. It would not have been had my parents not bought me that first Vic 20 and subsequently my C64 which I bought from consulting I did on the Vic 20 – as a teenager yet!
So pphhhffffftttttt!!!
