<font face="Comic Sans MS"> My Dad owned a tavern in Baltimore in
the 50's. Color TV was a big draw for customers back then. I can
remember guys sitting around watching "Sing Along With Mitch" and
wondering how they got the pointer to follow the words on the
screen. I often wonder what would be the reaction of those long

magic connection to the future internet? Things have emoved
pretty fast haven't they?<br>

The article was pretty good. Leaving out OS2 and the MS vs IBM
fight was probably done to keep it short and readable, ditto for
the Apple MS law suits.<br>
