The true definition of junk

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was just going through a stack of old manuals to see which ones I could safely throw away when I discovered something that is truly the most useless thing I’ve seen in 5 years of working here. An install disk for AOL version 1.5. (circa 1992, I think) It’s the PC version though, if you want that new-fangled “Windows” version you have to call the 800 number on the package. *L*

I think I’ll take it home and frame it, what do you think? I wonder if I could sell it on Ebay as an antique?

    For purposes of telling this story, names have been changed to protect the innocent. One of the people I work with, Chuck, got fooled into opening a spam email today, because the “sender” name was someone else who works here, Bob. It was a “hi I’d like to go out sometime check out my profile…

  • And another thing..

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Oh, by the way, there’s some stuff in Newsmonster that has some real promise. Both the integration with a PDA, and the Distributed Reputation System, which is not currently available, sound pretty interesting. I haven’t tried to integrate with the PDA, because that’s going to tie up some resources and disk space that I don’t…
