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?

I loaded up Trillian and ran into an error connecting to ICQ. Last night I did it again. I made a note to check the Trillian user forums and see if this…

    Angela ordered the Dell Axim X5/400Mhz for my Christmas present. This is pretty much going against my very firmly held belief about all things tech related. That is, never be an early adopter, let someone else be the guinea pig. But in this case, the pricing/specs combination on the Dell PocketPC make it pretty hard…

    Now, normally the things I write about here are for other IT folks, sharing information, commiserating about work, or software companies, stuff like that.

    The website for Gmail4Troops has a new feature, an actual online matching system provided by ISIPP. I entered my info in the matching system earlier this morning and just received my first request by email and sent off the invitation! I’ve got to say, I’m impressed by how quickly this technology has come together to…
