|

|
47 I really can't fathom all of the current (and past) discussion over
|
|||
|
48 allowing prayer in schools. For some reason, everyone is talking
|
|||
|
49 about "Christian" prayers. Many other "heathen" religions also
|
|||
|
50 utilize prayers. How would all of the IMMoral Majority types
|
|||
|
51 feel if their precious offspring were forced to pray to Allah or
|
|||
|
52 Buddha? Maybe then they would have a different attitude...

107 Just saw an article in Infoworld which seems interesting. Commodore
|
|||
|
108 made a deal with Zilog to put Z8000 chips in some new low-end
|
|||
|
109 computers. What's interesting is that a subsidiary of Commodore is
|
|||
|
110 MOS Technology, designers of...... the 6502!!!!! According to the
|
|||
|
111 article, the deal obviously squelched the idea of building a 16-bit
|
|||
|
112 sequel to the 6502 called the 65000. You'd normally expect Commodore
|
|||
|
113 to go with their subsidiary's designs if they were at all acceptable,
|
|||
|
114 so their repudiation of this design series is very significant.
|
|||
|
115 In other words, the 6502 sucks and Commodore knows it.
|
|||
|
116 Also, they're not willing to take the chance that the 65000 might
|
|||
|
117 flop and leave then in the cold, like the 9900 did to TI.
|
|||
|
118 Someone once said on this system that the fact that the
|
|||
|
119 6502 hasn't been updated means its better than Z80 et al. Phooey.
|
|||
|
120 NO chip is so good that it can't stand some improvement. But it
|
|||
|
121 seems only the better chips get improved, since it is a lot more
|
|||
|
122 practical to abandon a very poor chip than to try to produce an
|
|||
|
123 upward compatible improvement.
|
|||
|
124 ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))
|
|||
|
125 Since you say there aren't any upgraded versions of the 6502
|
|||
|
126 what are the differences between a 6502, 6509 & a 6510? (And
|
|||
|
127 how do they manage to address (NOT bank switch) more than 64k
|
|||
|
128 with some of the above chips?)

|

|
169 what type of modem is used on this system?
|
|||
|
170 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
|
|||
|
171 I hear the question "do we need more power?" and some say "no, we get
|
|||
|
172 along just fine as we are."
|
|||
|
173 To answer this don't ask "what do we do with it?" Ask instead "What DON'T
|
|||
|
174 we do with it?" There are a lot of things we don't do, because the current
|
|||
|
175 toys just can't. Such as: real home data bases, user friendly, error
|
|||
|
176 tolerant programming, inerchangeable graphics, voice, reading printed
|
|||
|
177 text, etc. The current operating systems are small because we can't run
|
|||
|
178 even UNIX on our home 'computers'. Small programs can not be very flexible.
|
|||
|
179 Online dictionaries? A real dictionary has about 1/2 million words, averaging
|
|||
|
180 6 or so letters each, so just for one use we need 3 megs, and even though I
|
|||
|
181 have a SMALL one on my machine, it is just too sloww, because the machine
|
|||
|
182 must go to disc for every word. Wordstar is small potatos compared to some
|
|||
|
183 real word processors, but can't get much better, because no one has the
|
|||
|
184 space for it. Voice entry exists, but it takes a pretty big machine for
|
|||
|
185 even a few words, and the working vocabulary of an educated person isn't
|
|||
|
186 a few words, it's several tens of thousands. To read printed text is easy,
|
|||
|
187 and it isn't special hardware that stops us, it is the humungus variety
|
|||
|
188 of letter shapes, and this merely means big arrays to compare against, and
|
|||
|
189 lots of computer power. Last month's Byte had an article on user friendly
|
|||
|
190 data entry, but it seems that the thing used about 100 or so k words
|
|||
|
191 just for the data entry part, not the actual program.
|
|||
|
192 The answer to more power in home computers isn't faster, I'm afraid;
|
|||
|
193 it's going to be bigger. A 16 bit machine can do more in less time than
|
|||
|
194 an 8 for at least 3 reasons: it handles more data at a time, it has a more
|
|||
|
195 powerful instruction set, and it can really use more memory. The limit on
|
|||
|
196 the second is the ability of the programmer to understand it, and the last
|
|||
|
197 is just plain money, but things are getting cheaper. More powerful computer
|
|||
|
198 allow simpler, sloppier programming, more powerful languages, more
|
|||
|
199 complete i/o, online error checking, real operating systems, etc.
|
|||
|
200 We ain't seen nothing yet, and we won't until we get MORE POWER.

256 The following are statements taken from actual letters received
|
|||
|
257 by the Welfare Department in application for support.
|
|||
|
258
|
|||
|
259 I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I had
|
|||
|
260 seven, but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.
|
|||
|
261
|
|||
|
262 I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born
|
|||
|
263 two years old. When do I get my money?
|
|||
|
264
|
|||
|
265 Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and hasbeen visited
|
|||
|
266 regularly by the clergy.
|
|||
|
267
|
|||
|
268 I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why?
|
|||
|
269
|
|||
|
270 I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.
|
|||
|
271
|
|||
|
272 This is my eighth child. What are yoe going to do about it?
|
|||
|
273
|
|||
|
274 Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am
|
|||
|
275 now living with can't eat or do anything until he knows.
|
|||
|
276
|
|||
|
277 I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son
|
|||
|
278 illiterate.. This is a dirty lie as I was married for
|
|||
|
279 a week before he was born.
|
|||
|
280
|
|||
|
281 In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a
|
|||
|
282 boy weighing ten pounds. I hope that this is satisfactory.
|
|||
|
283
|
|||
|
284 I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my three
|
|||
|
285 children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.
|
|||
|
286
|
|||
|
287 Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will
|
|||
|
288 be forced to leading an immortal life.
|
|||
|
289
|
|||
|
290 You have changed my boy to a girl. Will this make
|
|||
|
291 any difference?
|
|||
|
292
|
|||
|
293 In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth
|
|||
|
294 to twins in the enclosed envelope.
|
|||
|
295
|
|||
|
296
|
|||
|
297 I have no children as yet as my husbandi is a truck
|
|||
|
298 driver and works days and nights.
|
|||
|
299
|
|||
|
300 I want money as quick as I can get it. I have been
|
|||
|
301 in bed with the doctor
|
|||
|
302 for two weeks, and he
|
|||
|
303 doesn't do hme any cgood.
|
|||
|
304 If things don't improve
|
|||
|
305 I will have to send for
|
|||
|
306 another doctor.
|
|||
|
307
|
|||
|
308 My husband ngot his project
|
|||
|
309 cut off two weeks ago, and
|

|
310 I haven't had cnany relief since.

312 For a BBS try beating the price of an Atari

313 400. If your system is better than an
|
|||
|
314 Atari, why don't you put up a BBS with
|
|||
|
315 "good" programs on it -- 7 days a week, 24 hrs/day.
|
|||
|
316 (or even 1 day a week).
|
|||
|
317 As far as that goes, why don't you quit being
|
|||
|
318 a jerk and just ignore the announcement since
|
|||
|
319 you really wouldn't be interested in Atari
|
|||
|
320 software (your cheap junk machine can't handle it).
|

|
321 The announcement was intended for other Atari people
|

|
322 and was not expected to be of great interest to
|

|
323 other computer owners (there are a few Atari's on-line

329 is directed to the lowlife who feels he/she has to put

330 down the efforts of other people. I feel that the more

332 it only runs on Monday, and WHO CARES if it on an Atari,

333 a Radio Shack, or an old RELAY computer... I think it

334 is pretty nice of people to put their systems up for

433 problem with the cerebral regressives who use this board?
|

434 Not funny. Not provocative. Not interesting. Not even

469 On a slightly more serious note:
|
|||
|
470 I have just read Byte's review of the Apple IIe. The Apple
|
|||
|
471 community has my sympathies. Why? Because now THEY're in for the
|
|||
|
472 kind of trouble that the TRS-80 community had when the Model III
|
|||
|
473 came out! "Undocumented ROM calls may have been changed..."
|
|||
|
474 "Most hardware expansions will still be usable..."
|
|||
|
475 (I must admit that Apple did a slighty better job on hardware
|
|||
|
476 compatability)
|
|||
|
477 "New, Enhanced version - but still compatible with..."
|
|||
|
478 It all sounds SO familiar!
|
|||
|
479 But don't worry, even if it isn't always as compatible as you
|
|||
|
480 need (Murphy's Law as applied to improvements: The one accessory
|
|||
|
481 you want the most is the one that isn't supported!) you're still
|
|||
|
482 going to have a BETTER machine! It's gonna hurt at first, but I
|
|||
|
483 think you'll like the end result.
|
|||
|
484 (Note: I don't own or want an Apple, and don't really see
|
|||
|
485 what you people see in them. But I think that in the long run
|
|||
|
486 you'll agree with the above if you DO like Apples!)
