If you happen to end up in those environments again, I would appreciate it if you take a look at my prototype web-based message board.

It's designed for compatibility, and I've tested a lot of Netscapes and IE4, but nothing on Win311 yet.

If you want to leave a comment, you can do so right on the message board. It should work, more likely with JS off.

Possibly controversial opinion: The best debugger I ever used was VB3-6, and same-era VBA.

The web is already pretty fast if you don't put too much stuff into your webpages.

The flip-side to this is that if you have a regular number which you use without an Apple device and use the same number in your Apple settings, your SMS get hijacked, and only show up on the Apple devices, which you may not look at for weeks.

(Ask me how I know this.)

Content to advertising ratio very low with this article, I think people just voted it up for the feel-good value.

They're really tasty and good for you. There's also a deep primal satisfaction from eating something directly from the wild earth. It's also a long-standing tradition in many cultures.

If you know what you're doing and are very careful and cautious, it is a pretty low-risk activity.

I'm working on a distributed, decentralized web forum system.

Demo: http://rusrs.com/

It works in modern browsers with some extra JS-based niceties, but is also compatible with just about every browser I've tried, including Mosaic and Dillo.

See which iOS apps can export/import plaintext or other common formats, especially in an automated way.

I think what you can do now is avoid complex, binary, and/or proprietary formats for your data, because they are more difficult to back up and restore.

You can also learn to not trust software which promiess you the world, but doesn't let you see its internals.

    I feel your pain. I hope you remember in the future:

    Unless a backup can be verified, it is not a backup.

    Backing up to a complex or binary format is trouble.

'organize' != 'delete'

Happens to me all the time, and I just move on.

So far, nothing of value was lost.
