Re: breaking tech news! kind of a newspaper

Here are some facts:

On an average, each person receives 26.4 e-mails a day.

Google got its name from the mathematical figure googol, which denotes the number 'one followed by a hundred zeros'.

Re: breaking tech news! kind of a newspaper

question of the week: Let's see... MS-DOS, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Visa, Mac system 1-7, Mas OS 8, Mac OS X (Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard), Linux/Unix...


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Wait you're right.
Windows, Apple, Unix/Linux, and one... somehow I'm thinking Solaris, but it's probably something else.
