Could I have a copy of the mag which has my name in it? It would be cool to see my name in the top list and I have never been in the mag!

Please reply!

I read in one PC magazine that within the line of code of programs are often notes for other programmers to read!

Anyway in one of the versions of Explorer there is apparently some comments about Netscape being stupid(written backwards ofcourse), but perhaps more amuzing in one of the newer versions of Windows i.e. ME or 2000, theres reference to the final company presentation for the OSs being prepared on Macs!

Shows what confidence Microsoft have in their OS doesnt it!

yes I heard of that! I read about it I think in MacWorld! (cooooool mag) Microsoft apparently had there sound stolen from them by Mac so on the latest Macs in th UK mac changed the title to that!!

HAHA I think Microsoft were just jealous cose Mac is out doing them by the ratio of 4:1

did you know when on the mac desktop when you go to the top left (little apple logo) it says About this Computer! when you hold 'alt' and go there it changes to about this finder and then if you hold 'alt' and 'control' and 'command' at the same time and go it tells you about the team!! There are clever at Mac nowadays.

Tony what did you think of my screenshot topic

YEP, it's true.

Real Time law suit in the post.

er-no did you know that one of the Macintosh sounds is called SOSUME. That's because Microsoft (or IBM) tried to stop Apple from using it.

Tell me about it!

To get a user ID and password I had to fill out an online form, an email was then sent to my manager. When he approved it, I had to wait for a fax to arrive, fill that out, and return it. Then, a few days later, someone would call me with the password!

Luckily they've changed the format now so that I only have to fill out online form, seek managerial approval, and set up account from link in an email.


It could be so much easier!
