[OB] Some really antique stuff available....

[Russell Baldwin]

Hi All,
No input from here is a couple of years, BUT,

Reading this subject, or any on the 300 to 425 I find this all- 
Waaaaaaay Ahead of it's original time But simultaneously-

Laughable,  almost stupid, AND, at the same time I find it ridiculous;

Where ya' gonna get a more workable base than in an obsolete 1996 OB 
300 to 530 for true versatile custom craft?

2nd thought, why can't we have a modern computing sys w/the OS and 
basic programs hardwired on a ROM card much the same as on an old 425 
that can't be penetrated by a virus or spybot. (ie. OS and Program 
Apps insulated from the infection world) Just your encrypted data to 
lose if you are (shame on you) dumb enough to blow it?

But sincerely, I am growing really tired of paying for "band-aid" AV 
or IS to those that either create or feed this problem 4 profit 
and  that as companies, really shouldn't even exist.

Can we go ahead here?

RB
A Long time OB faithful
