# MacCharlie

The MacCharlie was a hardware add-on for the original Apple Macintosh (Macintosh 128K) that was made by Dayna Communications. It allowed users to run DOS software for the IBM PC by clipping a unit onto the chassis of the Macintosh 128K, and included a keyboard extender to provide the function keys and numeric keypad that are absent from Apple's original keyboard. The name refers to an IBM PC advertising campaign of the time featuring Charlie Chaplin's "Little Tramp" character.
The clip-on unit sits to the side of the Mac and, like the contemporary Amiga Sidecar, contains essentially a complete IBM PC compatible with an 8088 processor, 256 KB of RAM (expandable to 640 KB) and a single 5.25" floppy disk drive that stores 360 KB. A second floppy drive could be added.
While running DOS software using MacCharlie, users could still access the Macintosh menu bar and desk accessories. However, the DOS environment, which ran in a window, was text-only and did not permit Macintosh applications to run concurrently while in use. MacCharlie used the Mac as a terminal, performing all DOS processing itself, and sent video data over a relatively slow serial link to the Mac for display. This slowness, coupled with the declining prices of real IBM PC compatibles, contributed to the short market life of the MacCharlie.

# Festenummer

A Festenummer or Lease number is part of a unit in the Norwegian property register. The abbreviation is Fnr.
Each municipality is divided into a certain number of Gårdsnummers . Each Gårdsnummer is further divided into Bruksnummers. Under a Bruksnummer, a Festenummer can be established as an independent unit that can be traded and pledged . The festenummer indicates that the property is a rental plot, where an annual rental fee is paid to the owner of the Bruksnummer.
A common way of writing a land registry designation is for example. 17/235/2, where 17 is the Gårdsnummer, 235 is the Bruksnummer and 2 is the Festenummer. Another way of writing is Gnr 17, Bnr. 235, Fnr 2.

# Daniel Hevesi

Daniel Hevesi is a former American politician.
Daniel Hevesi was born to Alan and Carol Hevesi. He has a sister, Laura, and a brother, Andrew.
Daniel Hevesi contested the 1998 New York Senate elections, and won election from the 13th district. He faced Conservative Party candidate Walter Lamp in the 2000 election cycle. Hevesi served until 2002, when his district was redrawn, citing partisan politics and Republican control of the senate as his reason for stepping down.
In 2007, Hevesi was asked to provide financial records for a business he owned during a probe targeting his father's actions as New York State Comptroller. The New York Times reported in 2010 that Daniel and Andrew Hevesi's participation in the investigation of their father convinced the elder Hevesi to negotiate a plea bargain. Linked to the investigation, attorney general Andrew Cuomo later accused Saul Meyer of helping Daniel Hevesi earn a $250,000 placement fee from the pension fund of the government of New Mexico. The New Mexico State Investment Council filed a lawsuit against Meyer and Hevesi, among others, with the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico in May 2011.
