There was also the HP 95LX with a smaller screen (40x16, 240x128), a 5.37 MHz NEC V20 CPU, and 512K or 1MB of RAM.

Also, the 100LX with monochrome CGA (80x24, 640x200), a 7.91 MHz 80186-compatible CPU, and 1MB or 2MB of RAM but the extra was used for file storage as drive C:.

The 200LX was the same as the 100LX but had newer software in ROM.

Hey! Don't forget the French Micronique Hector HRX (1983) which had only Forth in ROM, and the MX (1985) which had both Forth and BASIC in ROM. They can both be emulated in MAME.

What do you mean? Both testicles produce sperm with either the X or Y chromosome.

There have been a ton of upgrades to Thunderbird in the past year or so. When did you last look into it?

No one wants to suggest promoting English over their own language. English is already largely an unofficial lingua franca in Europe anyway. Let people do what they want.

Each culture's language is an integral part of their culture, and their culture wouldn't be the same if they switched to speaking another another culture's language.

The closest is the Mullvad browser which is like Tor browser but without the Tor network so websites load faster, but Mullvad browser also needs a VPN to fully protect you. EDIT: Mullvad doesn't beat it.

My Firefox beats it and gets the message "An error has occurred". Perhaps it's JShelter causing that or maybe CanvasBlocker.

Naw. The Apple II would still exist but would have transitioned to the 68000, PowerPC, x64, ARM and Apple GS/OS would have become macOS.

I can't stand VLC. The only options are skip ahead 10 seconds and back 10 seconds. I prefer SMPlayer. I can skip ahead or back 10 seconds, 1 minute or 10 minutes.

They want to be able to change prices.

The scripting language built into dBASE is essentially a BASIC without line numbers and with DB commands built into it.
