Hi Ekhart,

I think Apple *did* claim it during some lawsuit or other, not
certain. I'm too lazy to go look at the Apple_v._Microsoft link at
the moment, but I suppose it discusses that.

This was in the home computer era, I think, before IBM and Microsoft
made things relatively standard. I think most of the Xerox stuff was
research-oriented, not commercial.
I remember watching Windows 3.x start up on them old PCs; quite slow,
even on a 12Mhz or so.

I'd prefer for it to be standard.
The last few weeks, both on the list and at work, have provided many
subjects, such as how to identify, remove, and prevent malware, and
how to repair Verifone Tranz 330 and 380 credit card terminals
(includes diagnostic keyboard commands that I've been totally unable
to find online). It's easy enough to simply call the help desk, but
that starts to sound rather ridiculous when you have 3 dozen terminals
to test and put back into service... :) Unfortunately, I've been
trying to get some other stuff out of the way, so haven't bothered to
poke at it. Feel free to contribute to existing pages or make new
pages, as needed.
--Scott.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
