Wow - another person with a HP LX-series palmtop. I've
got an Omnigo 700LX
with the Nokia 2110 mobile to go with it. But that's going way OT for this
mailing list (my 700LX carries a manufacture date in 1996).
In software, if I rented (annually licensed) my
software, it
could be cut off at any time, like WordPerfect was for certain Data
Generals,IIRC, or like MS would prefer.
Anyone know the full story to this? Hmm...
Interesting.
Now everyone knows why I'm still using Windows 98. I'm also a cheapskate - I
won't buy anything unless I have to. Hence why I'm using OpenOffice. I also
hate spyware. When I get my Linux box working as a router, I'm going to have
a packet tracer running on it. It might be interesting to find out just what
is spying on me...
Later.
