Someday we?ll all have phones as portable as the 11-pound Mobira Talkman.

and about Microsoft....


We don?t really know how they think they can take on the Macintosh user interface, though, so don?t be surprised if the little Arizona startup that could, well, can?t.


I didn't know Nokia used to make tyres aswell!!! (do they still?)

Brilliant!

Imagine that: storing over 500 MB of space on a single disk. We?re not quite sure how we?d actually fill all that space,
The thing is back then you really couldn't!
I kinda miss the simpler days. It took me a long while before I would even consider using windows. In fact I never did install it until windows 95 came along :wink: and then I had to :roll:

the first tyres on my mountain bike in the late 90's were nokia tyres.. prehaps they flaoted the tyre company off and changed the name a little.

lmfao, you could beat a whale to death with that phone. Its surprising how much things have changed over a relatively short time.

You loved PC-DOS (or maybe you didn?t), you live with MS-DOS, but it?s too early to sit around and for Micro-soft?s IBM parnership on OS/2 to yield fruit. So after years of delays in finishing this damned thing, we?ve finally got their big new program, Windows 1.0! It actually lets you run more than one DOS application at a time, and even has a shell they call MS-DOS

Just brilliant. 'At last. Windows 1.0!!!!!!!!!!!'

seriously don't laugh. Windows was such a massive advancement. I loved DOS (and still miss it sometimes) but windows was great. Best release - either 3.11 or 95

I absolutly hated all the versions of windows before 95. But then again I was mainly working on unix using XWindows which was leaps and bounds ahead at the time.

lol - I remember the days of the Dragon 32, Spectrum and Commodore 64/Vic20 home computers with great fondness!

They were the best years of my life (to date) - playing Manic Miner after a marathon 10 hours football up the park!

Funny how you can remember certain times with such clarity like it was yesterday and yet I couldnt tell you what I had for tea 2 days ago!

:roll:
