Breifcase was handy to use for large zips when HotMail etc had a cap on mailbox size. You could mail the link and password to the folder and let the recipient download at their leisure. Not used it for a while so I guess I'm one of the nails in the coffin, though I do remember it not being easy to find.
Like Paul, I'm a (lucky?) long term customer of Tiscali who has had good service. I wasn't looking forward to a Sky buyout and wouldn't have put my money into Murdochs pocket. Who's best if decide to move
Wasn't it Gus the station manager who would be constantly spouting these phrases in the show? I thought a lot of these phrases went out with Yuppies in the 90s
If enough customers want it I'm sure Samsung will bring out the Executive model. Can I patent the idea for a Titanium/Carbon fibre model branded to a major race team? It could make the iPhone look cheap
Maybe we should demand on equal data security for the general public AND the people in power. If those with power think they might be at risk then they'll make damn sure that the systems are secure.
Maybe they will put F1 on BBC3 or 4 and keep MotoGP on BBC2 - I can dream can't I? Oh well, now all the 'dedicated' F1 fans have returned I suppose I'll have to hunt around for coverage (no I will NOT be putting money into Murdoch's pocket) If you want to see someone with charisma I suggest you check out an interview with Valentino Rossi instead of the F1 corporate droids
I'm not a marketing expert (won't let that stop me) but who is/was the target audience? If it's the letter typer/e-mailer/web browser then the spec is more than adequate. Even for printing/editing/backup of digital pics it prop wouldn't be pushed. If you're loking for more then maybe you wouldn't be pc shopping in Walmart
Is it just me or does it have echoes of the Airbus flyby demo crash back in 88? The pilots pushed the throttles forward but the computer decided not to let the engines respond resulting in a belly-flop into the forest.
Engine failure is one thing but a jammed non-rotating engine pod is another. The rotors are too big for a conventional landing- even with the gear down its a fairly major prop strike.
It's a nice trip back to my childhood- I remember seeing articles about it in Look and Learn or Speed and Power back in the early 70s. IIRC it was touted in the anti-tank role
'enjoy the delights of Planet Rock's 12-track playlist' - you must be getting it confused with Smash Hits or Virgin. As their jingle goes 'If you don't like it, frown at the radio'.

Re: How did they spend the $2.6 billion?
Some they spent on fast cars, some on fast women, some on drink, the rest they wasted :) (c) George Best
Seriously, why risk your own money when others may be willing to do it for you.

How to maintain security
