Talk:Boat anchor (metaphor)

message: I have made some improvements to this page, but it seems like it should be split into 2 separate definitions, one for computing and one for amateur radio. Does anyone else think this would be appropriate? Paul Mackay 05:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Vax11-780.jpg

message: Though the image :Image:Vax11-780.jpg is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
#It is a historically significant photo of a computing system nearly 30 years old by a defunct manufacturer. 
#It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
#The photo is only being used for informational purposes. Advertising is moot. The product can not be sold or promoted.
#Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
