For me he'll always be Lt Briggs in "Magnum Force". "You're a good man, Briggs; a man's got to know his limitations!"

Happy Birthday! What a superbly useful, solid piece of technology. Don't forget when this came out, the only option to watch video on Windows was to pay money, or try Windows Media Player, which I don't recall ever successfully playing any video I ever threw at it !

Thanks for the info. The guy is not an oracle but I enjoy his docs like Power of Nightmares, etc., as much as Pilger's docs. True quality in a sea of crap.

Wonder if that will be enough to make them consider switching away from Apple? Silly question!

I can't imagine anything worse than being a passenger on one of those (other than begin a low paid crew member who's been forced to remain aboard for the past 8 months)

The TI 990/10 DX 10 minicomputer was exactly the same. The teacher at my old school actually picked the TI990/10 over the PDP/11 because the PDP11 did not have "true descenders". The 990 didn't either but avoided the problem by having miniature capitals for lowercase.
He was a strange guy. Long since departed.

the TI99/4A is a beautiful machine.
The first computer I ever used back in 1982 was Texas Instruments 990/10 minicomputer (384K) running an operating system called DX10, based on the same instruction set as the 99/4A.
That system was originally built for a US Motel operator reservation system. Back in the days when you would quote for developing not only the software but the hardware too!
Today if you are interested you can download a 990 emulator and experiment with DX10/DNOS for yourself
