[Cumbria] A manifesto

[Roger Cope]

Elite on the BBC was absolutely amazing. I was never a player myself, =
but my
brother got to Elite on the Beeb and we played around with the =
disassembly a
bit (he understood it and is now a hard core programmer, I didn't and =
now
push paper - we earn the same: ho hum...)

I _did_ get Elite on the Spectrum (and on my Amstrad CPC128 _and_ two
versions on the PC) - it had legs did that game...

VCF is an Internet standard but only Microsoft support it thoroughly (in
Lotus Notes the VCF files are scraped into ASCII text). You're supposed =
to
be able to zip the VCF info direct into your 'contacts' file like you =
might
handle a business card. That works in Microsoft land but not muchware
else...

I _do_ use Outlook because it works great. If Evolution works as well =
then
I'll switch - Outlook is easily my most important application now that
Mozilla has caught up IE and Open Office has caught up Microsoft Office.
