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?

    Saw this article over on News.com about how the next Service Pack ofWindows XP is going to include a pop-up blocker ability built-in to Internet Explorer. Interesting for two reasons. One, it’s about time! Two, if even IE comes with a pop-up blocker by default, that form of web advertising is dead, offically, although since…

    Christine has had a rather long discussion going on over the last 2 days about pinging weblogs.com and how anyone can take that data and use it to list your blog pretty much anywhere, etc. (It’s all tied into people figuring out how they got listed in BlogShares without their knowledge and so on and…
