Rhapsody came about after Jobs came back, and after he ended the OS license debacle. The wayward OS was Copland.

It was a very dark era for Apple, but the Power Computing years were the best time to be an Apple fanboy IMO. You had commodity firebreathing PC hardware running OS 8 better than Macs did, more ports and connectivity, the software was best-

The only futuristic thing Google did was calling themselves Alphabet. I'm pretty sure they didn't think search would be the thing they'd fail on, though. Wonder if anything else they have will keep them around another five ye

Zoom is only a thing because of Covid. Didn't they grow 75 times over basically overnight? Supply/demand.

Real estate tracking site I use deleted all my followed properties when I shared with another email address. Phone update disabled my cellular data. Train carrying chemicals crashes, planes nearly crashing into one-another at airports. Enjo

I drove by a building with an SGI O2 next to the dumpster. Monitor, mouse, cables, and two banker's boxes full of software and manuals. Someone leaving said "have fun with it" while I was throwing it in the car. It came up wi

I'll be good if that Linux install I did in maybe 2000 that used full-screen Navigator as the file manager and desktop itself came back to life.

We were on a road trip back to Midwestern City 1 from Midwestern City 2, with the grandparents driving. Every 50 miles or so I'd flick the rear door ashtray closed, and we'd immediately screech to a stop on the side of the interst

This. I was a TMo customer from when they were Voicestream until about five years ago, then again 3 years ago. Had to switch to VZW so the college kids got signal. This is what, the third or fourth time they've had a data breach? We wi

Our elementary school clocks (70s) made a variety of nearly imperceptile sounds as they got near the top of the hour, or turned it over. We were like dogs when they hear the about-to-eat sounds start.

Like 1996? I was on NeXT, with a Mac ripserver of all things publishing 24-7, and it hardly looked bitmappy.

It's way, way toned down these days. Like most things, "back in the day" was much harder and hobbled by poor tech and whatnot. Early Tour de France editions had stages far longer than now, on dirt roads, riders carried their

I use Firefox for M365 access, since it assumes nothing from Windows, and doesn't try to suck everything in like Chrome. Edge for 365 can't figure out which of the 11 accounts it finds should be the one I'd like to use.
