Images from computing's history

A letter from Edmund C. Berkeley outlining plans for the development of electronic computers was auctioned by Christie's on Feb. 23. Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Development and now an advocate for open-source computing, nabbed the document for $72,000.

service pack 2
by munns February 2, 2005 8:52 PM PST
When you install service pack 2 for win xp, after download completed you have an automatic windows update saying that you have successfully installed this-now see what else you require[qyick install]they neglect to tell you that there are 102 faults with service pack 2, i have now uninstalled pack 2 for the second time? and the automatic installer comes into force right away saying that you have to install again-why if you dont want it why sould you be forced into installing it again-we have the right to say NO as we have purchased the computer ourselves-there is no way that we should bow down to Microsoft in doing this-maybe its time to change to Apple-Mac?.
