Microsoft wants fast appeal zdnet.com The Redmond, Wash.-based company said last week's decision by U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson was "an unprecedented judicial intrusion into basic product design" that forces it to offer a Windows 95 version that "does not currently exist and will not work." Would that be the retail Windows 95 that the OEMs are being given the option of licensing? Can retail customers get it repaired under warranty? Is this what's know as giving the customers what they want? Microsoft asked the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals to permit expedited arguments and then move to a swift decision on whether to overturn Jackson's order, which the company said affected both Windows 95 and its successor, Windows 98. Of course the never-wrong antitrust expert assured us here that the OS formerly known as Window 97 wasn't affected, or maybe he didn't, I have this well known reading comprehension problem, especially with stuff I'm not supposed to be reading in the first place. Cheers, Dan.

>>>Off topic, SCSI: Chaz, I shopped all over the net, even el cheapo ISA adaptec cards are $40.<<< Look at Promise cards. I used a few of these back when, and they were OK. Here's a link to their blowout sale page, which has some adapters for 20 bucks and up, for ISA, VESA, and PCI at various prices. Also just check their home page and hunt around. Not loved by everyone, but I never had a problem installing one. promise.com I found a few ISA adaptecs in Micro Times (SF Edition) for around 40 bucks. I was surprised: as you say, most outfits seem to have stopped carrying them sometime in the last few months. As far as those IDE cables go from local suppliers, all I can say is those robots put those damn connectors on a lot faster than I or you can. I think that's the problem. BTW, for all of you stubbornly clinging to old equipment you need parts for: weirdstuff.com If you need a half inch tape drive or an ancient adapter type or some software for that 386-25 with Win 3.1 this might be the place for you.
