Victorianism (Jan 12 2004 18:43 GMT) - Essays on almost everything to do with the Victorian era.For much of this century the term Victorian, which literally describes things and events in the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), conveyed connotations of "prudish," "repressed," and "old fashioned." Although such associations have some basis in fact, they do not adequately indicate the nature of this complex, paradoxical age that was a second English Renaissance. Like Elizabethan England, Victorian England saw great expansion of wealth, power, and culture. |

Microsoft extends phone support for WIndows 98? (Jan 12 2004 18:42 GMT) - Slashdot links to a UK ZDNet story reporting that Microsoft Extends Win98/SE Support, which in turn is linked to an Australian ZDnet story. I have yet to see confirmation on a major news feed, nor on the Microsoft site, where I could still find this announcement of support's imminent demise. Some of my clients (software developers) and many of their customers (end users, small businesses) still have machines with Windows 98 on them, and have no reason to want to upgrade. Microsoft has had the luxury during the Win95 and Win98 eras of dragging along most of their customer base onto a new platform, but it's hard for a lot of small businesses to see the ROI in an expensive upgrade likely to require matching hardware upgrades. It's good to see Microsoft recognizing the reality of the marketplace, and grudgingly continuing support. |
