Anyone know what this cable might go to: Its an Apple looking cable (Apple Platinum, same physical connector style as they used, and found in a box of Apple/Mac stuff... it just lacks an actual Apple logo). It goes from 15 pin D-shell (Mac RGB style) to 9 pin D-shell (PC Serial style). Assuming it to be an Apple cable, it looks like it would go from RGB to something. I'm not aware of any Apple monitors that use a 9 pin connector however. I know there were some 3rd party ones for early Macs (some full page monitors and the likes), but I didn't know of any that would interface with the Mac's RGB connector. Of course, this doesn't rule out that it is a 3rd party video cable that maybe went to a custom video card (like most of the 9 pin using 3rd party monitors I have seen do, only those that I have seen that use 9 pin have all been 9 pin to 9 pin, not 15 to 9). So, has anyone seen a cable like this before that can do better job of speculating what it is for. I am going under the assumption that it is an Apple cable, but if anyone has seen a similar cable for the PC or other systems, I'll be happy to entertain those ideas as well. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

[article] France's Minitel: 20 years young

by vaxzilla＠jarai.org

I noticed this relevant article on the BBC site this morning. Aside >from a one or two inaccuracies (i.e. Minitel preceding the Internet), and this being kind of a filler story, it's good to see classic computing getting coverage in the news. -> France's Minitel: 20 years young -> -> The history of the internet is measured in dog years - -> if you've been using it for 12 months, you're an old hand; -> since the 1990s, and you're a veteran. -> -> But as far back as 1983, a band of pioneers started using -> electronic networks to communicate, share information and -> work more efficiently. -> -> No, not Silicon Valley geeks, nor US military scientists - -> but ordinary French people, long derided as the worst of -> technophobic old Europe. -> -> Minitel, France's precursor to the internet, is 20 years -> old, and rumours of its demise have repeatedly proved -> exaggerated. -> -> [...] Full article: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3012769.stm> -brian.
