Well, Chrome is one way t odo that, but somehow I think people will
like t orun and own application software on their own OPC.
Agreed, people like you and I certainly will.
that is also why I tin 'cloud' computin gis silly.
I would not trust my data to be scattered all over the world.
For customers yo ucannot even do that.
To some extent there already is cloud computing, it's just that companies
maintain their own infrastructure internally rather than just renting generic
servers and Internet bandwidth from Google or whomever. Indeed, I know
several people who work from home and they're just "remote desktopping" into a
server at their employer's central location, and you see a lot of banks and
stores using the same model.
It is great for espionage, CIA orwhatever can know and control everthing.
AES-256 is our friend?
Your exploits with a ZX81 sound quite impressive. I remember visiting the
annual engineering expo at the local university as a kid in high school and
being quite intrigued by how many ZX81s, VIC 20s, and even a few Commodore 64s
had been majorly hacked up to make more general-purpose hardware controllers.
(The guys who were flush enough to buy or otherwise had access to Apple IIs
generally managed to obtain commercial I/O cards, I guess... :-) ).
Engineering expos are a great place to find potential new hires... you can
usually figure out in about 5 minutes who really did the work on a project and
who was just there for the college credits.
Amazing they did that GEOS GUI in so little memory.
It was kinda slow on a stock C-64 with only a 1541 floppy drive -- a 256k RAM
expansion unit made it a lot snappier.

Hey, the original OS-9 (NOT Apple's) was pretty impressive.
I ran it on a 128K RadioShack CoCo for years.
A nice GUI for the day and it multi-tasked fairly well.
I saw some ad space in a trades years ago from them, it was ported to
the '386 and branded OS-9000. Might still be out there, haven't Googled
it....
