Not exactly.

Sand is small, loose grains or rock debris, especially of quartz.

Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2), one of the most common minerals.

Silicon dioxide is also known as silica.  [Don't confuse this with
silica gel, which is a highly adsorbent gelatinous form of silica used
chiefly as a dehumidifying and dehydrating agent.]

Silicon, as we speak of it in semiconductor technology, is a crystaline
form of silicon doped with impurities to vary the local abundance and
absence of free electrons.

Saying that sand is silicon is like saying that since there is oxygen
in water (H2O), we should be able to breath it.  :)

By the way, I'd like to see you turn sand into silicon.  Especially with
just a wave of your hand, like Billy Gates of Microsquish can.  :)

I don't know about me, for the moment I have very little money. Maybe
it will be spring before I have saved enough (that doesn't mean I'll
buy the Amiga).

IBM had two main reasons for building the PC.  The Apple II and Visicalc.
Accountants and administrators were turning to spreadsheet programs to
do financial planning.  The Apple II, and small CPM boxes were quickly
moving into the office because they could run Visicalc, they could do
word processing cheaper than an IBM, DEC, or Wang word processor, and
newer, better applications were appearing.  IBM had to come out with it's
own personal computer to keep large accounts exclusively IBM.

>But CBM would still be making CPM clones and C64's. Ughh!

Well, I'll ask you this question again.  What "functionality" does
OS/2 2.0 provide that is not present in AmigaDOS?  I already know
about VM and MP but what else is present?  Does it perhaps support
multiple users like Unix, or multiple processors?  Please back up claims
such as "faster" file systems with objective comparisons.

This is a function of the display driver, and I haven't seen one for OS/2
that does this.  In fact, third party OS/2 drivers are still in their early
stages at this point.  However, SVGA hardware makes this possible.

CLI windows are another issue.  In OS/2, they aren't as flexible as, say,
xterms on an X11 display, which you can size to whatever you need, 250 columns
or whatever.  In OS/2, CLI windows can be in one of several modes (row/column
resolutions), and if you size the CLI so that not all characters are visible,
the system creates scrollbars automatically.  Unfortunately, the vertical
scrollbars only let you see what's currently in the window; you can't "go back"
like you can with an xterm.

I shouldn't have saud there was *no* software, I should have said that there

Ever get that "AHH HAA" sensation??  Well, AHH HAA!! That's right.  It's been
so long that I had almost forgotten.  I do remember that the C128 had only 2
processors in it.  It had one for the 128 & 64 mode (namely the 8502), and
one for CPM mode (namely the Z80).  That must have been what the cause of the
slight incompatibility was.  You can correct me if I'm wrong here.

95% conviction rate is easy.  Just automatically convict 95% of the
people who pass through the court system.  Just don't start whining
if you happen to be one of them.  And if you were unjustly convicted,
you'd change the "treat them like dogs" opinion pretty fast.

And how would you treat the people in jail *waiting* trial?  If they're
presumed innocent, should they still be treated like dogs?

(personally, I don't think that the lack of deterrent comes from
"comfy" jails - hard to imagine them as comfy anyway - but from the
fact that it is easy to get back out again)

"Julius Ceasar" was the name of the play.  Ceasar's sooth sayer (fortune teller)
warned Ceasar to "beware the ides of March".  This was because the ides of
March was the day which Brutus and his compatriots killed Ceasar.

Even if we assume this is true... you are bitching because something
less than 100% of military research is successful.  Of course there
are failures.  We can't all be perfect like you.

Again... pissed because of the lack of perfection, eh?  You're losing

A great deal of the R&D IS worthwhile...much more than is not.

No doubt about it.  Developing military weapons is a dangerous business.
Being around their use in wartime is even more hazardous.  Hindsight
would be a wondeful thing to be able to have in advance (but then it
wouldn't be hindsight, eh?).

Do you think that regardless of what the military R&D agenda is, it will
never make mistakes?  Are you honestly complaining because there
have been mistakes?  Gee, you must be a liberal!

But the fact that the evil empire is dead is an excellent side-effect.
(I hope the term "evil empire" doesn't piss you off too much).
And we destroyed that monster without firing a shot... but by simply
turning up the military R&D.

The fact that militarily, no other country is respected as we are is
another positive side-effect.

The weapons that cow-towed Iraq so easily and quickly are the result
of that R&D.  The deterrent we pose to terrorist nations is an
excellent side-effect.

On the other hand, we DID develop the Bradley... maybe we SHOULD
just forget the whole thing.

The largest problem was that you could switch the 6502-alike into 2MHz mode
which effectively disabled the 40 column display. Some programs also had
problems with the additional keys or the character set.
