This should be on every billboard
Obvs I meant password manager. Bluesky should allow one to edit a post within 30 seconds of posting it
Why would anyone trust a plasterer manager, even before the fiasco with one recently.
Just keep two pieces of paper, stored separately, with half the password on each. Make it a string of 4 decent sized words to make it easy to enter. Job done.
Remember when every boss level office had an whisky decanter on the table?
Those were the days: I'll take those as ailments.
It does need to be said with a French accent
Astonishing. I like it as it is now
See yer Ma has opened up a petrol station
A Noddy branded cardboard VHS video cassette box.
I think this must be one of the weirdest branding exercises ever.
Such a gorgeous and crisp GUI. I'll never tire of seeing it
I hope your dog scented it
No way! You jest.
It was certainly a handful, but given it could be installed to hard disk, which were the norm by that stage, it was only a temp inconvenience. Whilst hard drives were avail for the Amiga they weren't mainstream.
Interestingly, some say the sound was better on the Amiga than the Adlib PC version.
I long for those days, tbh! The craft, the flair, even the failure!
F19 was pretty good on the C64. I'm not sure everyone would agree it could be called a Flight Sim, but it did have a hefty manual to accompany it!
It's odd they he just wouldn't now do a "mea culpa" and admit he was wrong. After all, with the history of products whilst he was still in charge (Clippy, Windows Bob, Zune, Windows Me and the security vulnerabilities of XP), there's plenty of publicly available failures he can be attributed to.
I think it was IBM that forced the 640k limit though, not MS, as they wanted memory space reserved for ROM expansions, user addons and graphics
It would have been a smart and obnoxious thing to say at the time, so he probably did say it and that's maybe all the proof required
I used to take a lot of pride in giving myself a good RAM allowance
He never said it, but I like to think he did! The fool!
I never thought of our autoexec dot bats as Haiku, but in a way you are correct.
Was that because you embraced consoles more than we did in Europe? Consoles are really fitted for a certain type of game, whereas the traditional computer systems (Amiga, ST, even the lingering 8 bits) could adapt ?
