Great retro-company concept !!! The extensions "Final Cartridge" for the Commodore C64 and the "Job Application Manager - JAM" for the Sinclair QL sold for about 40 $ per license at that time. "Piece of cake" to compile these products with nowaday tools (if you manage to back-transfer your code to 6502/6510/6800x/80x86 processor commands). > and then you connect up all the computers and they talk to each other over a > world wide network and that's how you send your ray tracing to the company. 1.) Or even think of a time-slot to about the year 1970 (when Queen Elizabeth II was reported to have read/sent her first eMail - perhaps via ARPAnet) : You could have sent an eMail to her without having to ask her secretary - nearly any eMail at that time was highly serious (being sent my military or scientific personnel) - no need for any type of content filtering at that time (see below). 2.) Why not ask the Hollywood staff of "The Web" and/or that of the n-th remake of H.G.Wells' "The Time Machine" to create a new movie like "The Time Server" or "Dr. eMail" ? --- I wrote --- > > or the game software industry (EOA Electronic Arts , V-i-r-g-i-n Interactive > > etc.) developping black/white or 4/16 colour low-res images for the 1991 > > Apple/Atari/Commodore home computers and video games. ... and promptly got a "This email has been rejected by an email content filtering system" reply from a Microsoft-powered server running at www.taxware.com . Oh,Oh - Mr. Branson must have hard times using eMail communication for his business(es). sincerely, U.
