From News.com’s interview with Bill Gates:
Longhorn, in terms of unifying the way you do things, is about letting people get at more of the power and having more simplicity.
Sounds a lot like Mac OS X. Apple is way ahead and now MS must play catch up.
We demonstrated VisiCalc running on Longhorn today, to show that 20 years of compatibility is a serious thing–people who want to run Electric Pencil and dBase and early versions of 1-2-3 if they want. We have built a compatible operating system. That’s one of the things that Microsoft does.
Again, Apple is already there in terms of backwards compatibility both in terms of OS (Classic) and processor (680×0).
If Bill was really concerned about compatibility he would embrace open standards and get his browser up to par. What Bill really wants is to continually increase the lock-in for his Microsoft Empire.
Today, I began my assault on blog spam. I started with simple changes as suggested by Yoz Grahame.
Jay Allen’s wonderful MT-Blacklist 1.5 is the new sheriff in town.
I just received a call at work from Bob Ellis. Not having talked to Bob in over a year, I expected some big news. Bob wanted my address to FedEx me a wedding invitation for his wedding this Friday! Only Bob.
Congrats to both of you!
Emma made her first public singing performance today at church.
Emma overcomes her jitters to sing “Jesus is the Rock” with a little help from Ms. Leah.
Feeling a little more comfortable now.
Being part of such an large group is a bit intimidating.
Hey, this isn’t so bad.
Needless to say it was quite emotional to see Emma singing her heart out for the Lord. It was all I could do not to breakdown and cry as I saw the nervous look on her face when she started to sing. I knew that look on her face very well. My daughter has the same facial expressions that I have been known to make while standing in front of a large group!
It was great to see her grow more comfortable as the minutes passed. She was really into it when singing “Open the Eyes of My Heart.” I am so thankful that my little girl has a desire to praise and worship the Lord. I was one proud daddy. I can only imagine the joy our Heavenly Father experienced as so many little ones sang to Him.
Thanks so much to Nannie, Chief, Papa, Dede, and Cassie for being there. Thank you Ms. Peggy, Ms. Leah, and Ms. Katie for serving Emma and the other children.
