A new and quite different way of displaying the Penny Black!
Link found on the Danish philatelic newsgroup. Enjoy :-)

Whatever you favour :-)
I suddenly realize that I wrote the Machin, but really meant to say the PB.
Wonder whatever made me write Machin ??

earrings I think.
I look forward to seeing your You tube with my new
high speed motherboard and XP.

Just when I get to XP, everybodys leaving for
Vista.

I don't think so. The "horizon" for "Vista" is not very nice at the
moment. Stick with XP, all updates included.

True, true...

It's 1/3rd SLOWER than XP Pro and totally wasteful of resources ... not to
mention incompatibilities! Even IF you try to run a program in the 'XP
Emulation', it usually crashes!


Sheesh... emulation, schmemulation... Why not have it backwards
compat instead of cutting edge frontier that goes nowhere?

More Micketstuff development by trial and error for the user, rather than a
solid OS, well tested -=in house=- before 'release' Great company to
require Beta testers to PAY for the effort.


Remember DOS 5.0 ? :^)

Macs look better every day - even I may go there, as I'd have to replace 80%
of my software with Hasta la Vista, baby.


Hey, they're getting some of the limelight with problems as well. One
can go there, but unless one does business SOLELY in the Mac market,
one will be at somewhat of a loss in the business world.

Artsy-fartsy stuff - why not!

I am sticking with XP Pro - everyone at work who has
upgraded to Vista this year complained bitterly that their
hardware or 'old' software refused to work with the new
system.

Some managed to get patches or new drivers from the
manufacturers or experts in usergroups, but many are
still having major headaches!

Too much like hard work, and too unreliable at the moment.
It's enough to drive you to Linux!

Regards,

David.

Talk about fast...I'm on a G5 with OSX (need to upgrade to Leopard),
30" Monitor, Earthlink DSL, Browsers: Firefox, Safari, Camino,
SeaMonkey (for HTML) and Google for the NG. No problems in almost 10
years with Mac and Earthlink. OpenOffice is for documents. Photoshop
for Philatelic and Art JPegs. Haven't yet ventured into BootCamp to
run Windows XP or Vista. Only wish is to be able to run Turbo-Lister.

I have no idea what you are talking about
I remember OSX was way back in the 90's?
Perhaps Turbo lister is like XTree Gold? I liked that program.
I am about to follow suit with older gear, because I can get P4's now for
$60
I am going to set one up in the garage, and run
W98se on it, see how it performs.
I am feeling more comfortable with XP
since aquiring "XP for dummies", I can finally follow
what my son is doing with messenger and audio files.
It has been great to have the family online from Thailand
and has brought the family together.

Wouldn't ensure that users had to 'upgrade' their other software ... Lack of
$$$ coming into pockets.

More Micketstuff development by trial and error for the user, rather than a
solid OS, well tested -=in house=- before 'release' Great company to

Remember DOS 5.0 ? :^)


No, I went from DOS 3.3 to 6.1. Standard rule of DOS was avoid the -=even=-
numbered (sub) versions. 3.0, 3.2 ... etc.

Macs look better every day - even I may go there, as I'd have to replace 80%
of my software with Hasta la Vista, baby.


Hey, they're getting some of the limelight with problems as well. One
can go there, but unless one does business SOLELY in the Mac market,
one will be at somewhat of a loss in the business world.

Artsy-fartsy stuff - why not!


Ah dinna think imagery (scanning, restoration, etc.), audio/video
recording/editing/burning, spreadsheets or databases are "artsy-fartsy". All
that has been ported over to Mac and is completely compatible with files on
winblows or Mac-OS. GAMEZ and other carp (fish) can fry in X-Box or whatever
... too busy!


heh... databases? GOOD DBs? On Macs? hmmm... That's a wee stretch.
The other stuff has been there for some time. All the other stuff is
artsy-fartsy! :^P But, that's what Macs are good for...

I program in the business world, not the fanciful world. Business
computers, for accounting / db related purposes are IBM clones, since
the beginning. Wintel machines or at least WinAMD... :^) Amongst
others, of course... Now, with web based programming, the playing
field has evened up somewhat.

This all started for me when IBM PCs (actually earlier, but I won't
bicker) were the "promise" of a bright future for personal computing.

For collecting stamps, doing stamp related work, PCs / Macs work both
as well.

There was a time when Macs were overpowering the PCs in the
artsy-fartsy realm, but I have the full Adobe CS2 suite on my PC and
don't see any advantages of a Mac. Same with music, open office and
others. I have plenty of VST synthesizers and graphics programs that
will allow me to play and get things done as well as a Mac can.

I don't really care about the O/S as much as I care what I can do on
top of it. That's what counts - retired or not. :^)
