wbaustin discovered 9 months ago- It's easy to cry over the products we loved and lost. But let's take time to appreciate the many ways in which technology really has improved, and the many geeky things we no longer need to worry about.

- From the page: "Hand-Tuned Memory Management The culprit: In a statement about memory that I'm sure sounded perfectly reasonable at the time, Bill Gates once opined that "640K ought to be enough for anybody." The computer industry spent the next decade trying to recover from the fact that he was flat wrong."
I stopped paying attention at that point, this site seems to suck big time. - From the page: "Hand-Tuned Memory Management The culprit: In a statement about memory that I'm sure sounded perfectly reasonable at the time, Bill Gates once opined that "640K ought to be enough for anybody."

- While this was an entertaining look back, I didn't find it terribly insightful. These technologies have been dead for YEARS. What about some things that died (or should die) recently?

- An excellent magazine article laying out some of the technologies that we are grateful for the death of.
Floppy disks each had their own format, none of which could understand one another; a CP/M computer couldn't read a PC-DOS disk, and you needed Media Master (only $79) to extract data from a DEC Rainbow diskette. - An excellent magazine article laying out some of the technologies that we are grateful for the death of.

- In this article we cheer the demise of tech stuff that used to get in our way but no longer presents a barrier.
