What Amazon’s ebook strategy means – Charlie’s Diary

My first PC was a 286 with 1 MB RAM, a 40 MB HD, 5 1/4″ floppy drive, CGA monitor, no mouse, no sound, no CD-ROM.
Also used a dB Spectrum before that – it used a cassette recorder for storage, had 64K memory, and used a TV as display.Tags: computers, history, technology

It’s unrealistic and naïve to expect everyone to do the “right” thing when the alternative is so much easier, faster, cheaper, and better for so many of them.”Tags: copyright, Business, piracy
