For the record, last time I was flying out of Geneva (Gate B52 if I remember correctly, although no Rock Lobsters in sight...) the gate desk was "running" windows XP. That is, it was booting up, crashing XP and then booting up repeatAdd Infinitum('again and ');
What added to the amusement was hearing the comment of some fellow prospective passengers of around sixty-something saying something like "oh look, it's booting windows and crashing...". Truly we live in the information age.
If scientists can't even BEGIN to discuss these subjects in a clearly scientific manner without being canceled, suspended etc. then the very possibility of informed discussion and *development* are doomed. We're getting to the point where 'common sense' really has been legislated out of existence. But don't worry, when the survival of the fittest has been ruled out altogether, we will simply degenerate until Darwin kills us all off. By the look of things sooner rather than later.
Yep - it existed, ran really well on the then current hardware . I hacked the version that came with the Amstrad PC to work on my (VGA I think) Toshiba (luggable) laptop. Was really quick and resource light compared to Windows 3.1. I used to use it with DeskPress desktop publishing software and nothing on Windows came close for functionality or performance for years. Oh the things that might have been, eh?
