What applications won't run? I've used it quite extensively, I can't recall

The Model 4 didn't need an upgrade. It also could run CP/M "out of the
box", just not in 1981! The 4 didn't appear until (Fall?) 1983.
The II and the 4 had no ROMS to get in the way of CP/M. They both
offered the "full" 64K of RAM needed for real CP/M. They had small
"boot ROMS" that were switched out once the OS was booted. The Model
I and III had the BASIC ROMS that needed to be moved out of the way.
That's what the hardware mods did.
Ahh, memories!!!!!

Thats because youre running solaris 7. If you were
running solaris 8, there would have been two patches;
which if you were any kind of responsible unix person
you would have applied already.
The same can be said for 7.

Actually, it is, it has some severe limitations though.
But I learned VB quite recently, I don't use it very much, though.
My first real lanuage was Pascal (by hand, I might add. Using a computer was
delayed as much as possible. The teacher believe it makes a better code when
you can't just compile to find the errors.).

Yeah perhaps thats the case, but I'll have another sneak look in the

I find myself going back and forth to root quite often. It's nice to know
there is a way to keep open programs up without having to re-open them.
Except with XP there isn't a need to save the session. It just does it. BTW
the other users remain logged on until they officially log off, so switching
back to another user is almost instant once he is logged on.

That's more of a Devlin pipe dream. WindowsXP even in beta form, is AS
stable as Linux, but the applications that run on it are about 100 times
more stable than the typical Linux offerings. Although, Knode is awesome and
incredibly fast, and is in and of itself worthy of dedicating a complete box
of hardware to Linux.
But you missed the part about me just conveying the "tip of the iceberg".

Um, no...Mafia Soft puts lots of stuff in the kernal that does NOT belong there.
That's why a machine 3-days without hands-on attention is considered a major
