Watch the Date and Patience Please

Forms of this blog have been around since 2001.  Now, some 8300 plus posts.   It covers both my thoughts, history and sometimes breaking news in information technology.  I had several messages recently where people reacted to years-old messages as if they were breaking news.  Also, I frequently link to outside resources, and sometimes the target of these links will go away.  So please have patience with that, and pay attention to the date of the post.
