finally updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1 from 5.x. So far, the one thing that is pissing me off is the mail app. Anyone know how to turn OFF the VIP and Starred "accounts" stuff?

I never tried OS/2. I hear it was pretty sweet, but missed that window. Then, not having a clue what I was doing, I ended up using basically nothing but the LEAST user-friendly linux distros for years (slackware then gentoo - compiled absolutely everything from source like a real man!). But hey, I learned a lot.

I've got a web form that takes people's names & addresses and some other info. In google chrome, the autofill puts the zip code into both the zip code field AND the country field. Any idea why it would do this and how to prevent it? My google-fu is failing me.

This help?

I used OS/2 for a little bit. I even went to one of the regional launch events. We never ended up actually deploying it though.

My first OS/2 felt like quite the coup. I was an AS/400 programmer at the time (good lord--how things change...), and we didn't have what I considered adequate development environments (and some things stay the same...), so I convinced the boss to set up a really local area netwok with the only three PCs in the company, running OS/2, connected to the AS/400s, and also emulating the AS/400 environment so we could run our code more properly through its paces before deploying to production.

And I *seriously* hadn't recalled that until now.

When I thought about installing OS/2 for the first time, i was actually thinking of the Lotus Notes deployment I did (again convincing bosses who had no clue that it was the second coming) at my second job. We got swept past Notes in the end--between Groupwise and VB and Access (and eventually PHP and MySQL, but by that time I wasn't telling the bosses what infrastructure components I was using) we got the functionality elsewhere.

First job I got in LA was a Notes shop, and is some ways it was like dropping 10 years back into the past. Good lord.

I remember selling OS2 when I worked for Egghead. I also remember that Egghead used OS2 for the computers that ran store operations at each location.

When did you work for Egghead? I used to be your competitor--I worked for Software City in both the UK and here. Egghead is the only other retail software company name I remember from that time, but I have no idea if we had significant market penetration. The competition might have been merely technical.

I worked part time for Egghead from 1988 to around 1994. I spent most of my time at Store 14 down in San Diego.

I did Software City between 85 and 88, I think, in London and Michigan.

It's a weird thing to think back to--all those different platforms, and the dinky office software and the Q*bert orDaley Thompson's decathlon or whatevers...
