Then you should remember that smalltalk back then ran on it?
And that this feat made it possible for Apple to further its research
into the GUI thru object oriented techniques?
I myself remember the old MK110 computers of the Navy. vintage 1959.

You don't even know who processor tech was then. They were the first...
but overpriced and not that reliable. Bad management there. But they
were the first integrated unit... and if you look closely, the Apple II
was essentially a knock-off of the Sol. The Sol at least had a full
keyboard.

but she was only one of many behind smalltalk, and it was something
apple didn't use. so what was Adele's crucial contribution Elmo?
still waiting for you to reveal your secret.

I find it a lot easier to use OS X on a G5. But if you want a real
secure operating system for use in business critical data, use OpenVMS.
You'll find OpenVMS on HPs website... deep in the business computing
section or just poke in OpenVMS in their search box.
But they are rather expensive.

What I got out of the review is that the iPhone is for the technically
challenged, the N95 is for the true techies. Last time I checked the market
share of devices which was a few days ago, Apple wasn't even on the map.
There have only been a million or so iPhone's sold which is not very much
compared to the billions of other manufactured devices. I have to admit
that I have never seen a piece of carcinogen producing plastic create such
a frenzy. At the end of the day, they are all still consumer grade personal
multimedia devices that can actually make phone calls and are marketed to
the masses like fast food.

Yes, I was writing about the number of subscribers, because the
statement was about selecting the carrier. The only quantifiable fact
we can use to show that consideration is the number of people actually
using the carrier.
Sure, people may WANT more from a carrier -- some expect the very best
of every story they've ever heard (lowest cost, best coverage, fastest
data network, most features, most open attitudes, unlimited handset
choice, all at the same time!). But the only way to actually show how
the choices affect what they actually do is to look at the one they
use.
Surveys about satisfaction are usually about specific features or
customer handling, not all issues at once.
