How far ahead was the Amiga? It can be used in 2010 to prove that it was the innovator, not some patent squatting troll trying to hold back an open source solution that can benefit many.
If they lost Red Hat/Novell would have had to remove the "infringing" technologies. That would have sucked.
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

if you are coming from the PC world.. yeah, it is :)


How many pcs have capacitors burning out because they are the wrong way around, or batteries puking their guts onto the motherboard, or wirewrap timing fixes, etc. etc. etc.

oh, wait actually I've seen all that myself, never mind. The oldest pc I have is a commodore pentium from 1995 or 96? still works fine :)
