I think there is something called Boot Camp that allows Apple PCs to run
Windows apps.

It's my understanding that Boot Camp allows Apple PCs to run the Windows
OS, and along with it, Windows apps. Apples, at least some of them, are
now Intel based, but, apparently, run a different BIOS that Windows
doesn't support. Boot Camp just allows you to dual boot. There is also
Parallels, which will run Windows inside a virtual machine, so you can
run the Mac OS and Windows at the same time.


Yep... you have to reboot to use it. But, there are plenty of emulators out
there that work side-by-side with MacOS.

The problem is that none of the emulators allow you to run ALL of the
other guy's software. Wine, for example allows Linux machines to run
some Windows software as does the Apple emulator. Any foreign software
that directly accesses hardware, use a dongle, or any other fancy anti
theft devices, won't run under the emulator.

very cool tool.

The push stuff is nice. I wish I could get that here.

Cuteness or cool depends on the user I think.
I seldom text but in Singapore you see kids hanging on a strap in the
subway, talking with their friends and typing text messages with their
thumb faster then I can type with both hands.

You are seriously ****ing me off! If I buy another new handphone my

The other emulator problem is INPUT and OUTPUT.....something always doesn't
work just right.....ports, audio, video, etc.....

I apologize. I'd be happy to send you screenshots of our local area tides.

Might help. Or I can just look to see what time the floating docks get
way up on the piles :-)

Iowa State built a computer from scratch, in 1948, and in 65 it was
the first box students used. It had 1k in the form of charged spots on
vacuum tube cathodes. Eight bits, one byte, per tube.

I'd love to know the physics behind how they did that. Dual triodes, such
as 12AX7, 12AT7, 12AU7, or even earlier 6SN7 were used as latching flip
flops, but they only stored one bit...0 or 1. To get 8 reliable levels
would be magic. They did use a neon counter tube that had multiple
cathodes. Perhaps that is the "tube" that did a byte.

There is also Tides.
Comparing with the official tide tables for Hamburg, Germany (at
www.bsh.de) though, both of them were off by quite a bit - Tides was
better but still too far off.

One more thing:
Navionics Maps - eg for all around Denmark, including Kattegat,
Skagerrak - quite nice indeed even though they are not free.

Out of interest, how far is too far?
