Microsoft Schedule Plus did it for me. Yes it's more than a calendar, but it's got a nice calendar nonetheless, and it was a 100% safe (safe concerning malware, that is) so far as I can remember.

Dunno what generation you are referring to but ASCII pron existed before the WWW and it was digital.

Looks like another largely inconsequential decision. They're probably getting their user base (*bleating noise*) ready for something they'll be deploying in the near future, flattening out the differences for development cost's sake. Question is, what exactly? more seamless NSA integration? quite …

90–264VAC, that covers Europe and the rest of the world. As touching availability, I really have no idea, but eBay and Amazon may be able to settle that for you.

I can highly recommend G220fB from ViewSonic. The quality of the picture is as perfect and bright as anything I've seen from aperture grille competitors, namely Sony and NEC. The only feature missing, if I were to get picky here, would be a numeric reference for some of the controls such as …

I used to consider DOS ports to be ugly and shrill bastard children of the "true originals" for those games originally developed for the Atari (8-bit and ST), Commodore (64 & Amiga) and Apple (II, IIgs and Mac) computers of the 1980s I actually kind of felt the same way about OCS/ECS Amiga games, …

It actually broke, got stuck, caused the drive to produce an uncertain sound and I had to hammer in a real paper clip (when I could finally get hold of one) to pulverize them pasta bits and get the bloody thing to cooperate. Eventually the drive was spared, but boy was that stupid or what …
