Commodore 64

This morning when I received an email from Computer History Museum and read about Commodore64, it was kind of great feeling about what we have today and matter of proud how did they start computing... 64KB memory computer, costing $595 in 80s. When I searched on google there were already many news stories all around.

Commodore 64 still loved after all these years is a story on CNN by Peggy Mihelich, also read some of the user comments at the end. Worth reading experience of its users.

Here is the email about the 25th anniversary event -

The Commodore 64 (C64) was an 8-bit home computer released by Commodore in August, 1982, and during it’s lifetime (between 1982 and 1994), sales totaled tens of millions of units, making it one the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. Approximately 10,000 commercial software titles were developed for the Commodore 64 including development tools, office applications, and games. Early entrants of microcomputers began as early as 1975, with the first models available in retail stores around 1977. In 1981, The IBM PC release legitimized and expanded the market. During this era of microcomputer innovation, the market was dominated by the IBM PC, the Commodore 64, the Atari 8-bit family, the Apple II, and Tandy Corporation's TRS-80. The C64 made an impressive debut at the 1982 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, as recalled by Production Engineer David A. Ziembicki: "All we saw at our booth were Atari people with their mouths dropping open, saying, 'How can you do that for $595?'" Although the history of the Commodore 64 is rich, the history of the people and the companies that developed these early personal computers is also critical to the personal productivity tools and business solutions we often take for granted in our daily lives. Join us for a well-deserved celebration that spawned a tremendous market for home, small business, distributed and networked technology uses. These technology advances provided a foundation for many companies and technologies driving the Internet, wireless, social networking and other innovative technologies underway. We thank our panelists in advance for providing recollections and perspectives from their early experiences and welcome their stories from a time that produced the foundation of our current technological society.

Inflight E-Mail Takes Off With JetBlue

The first free U.S. inflight e-mail and instant messaging service will launch next Tuesday aboard a JetBlue flight leaving Kennedy Airport in New York.
JetBlue Airways is working with Yahoo Inc. and Research In Motion Ltd. on the "BetaBlue" flight that will also carry passengers to San Francisco, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A JetBlue spokeswoman would only say that the carrier will release information on the "innovative onboard product" on Tuesday. Spokesmen for Yahoo and RIM could not be reached immediately for comment.
After several months of trial flights on the A320 aircraft, JetBlue will decide whether to install the system fleetwide. Wi-Fi-equipped laptops with Yahoo Mail or Yahoo Messenger clients will be able to send and receive e-mail and messages to people on the ground, while Wi-Fi-ready BlackBerry smart phones, including the 8820 and the Curve 8320, will be able to access BlackBerry e-mail and instant messages.
JetBlue conducted a test flight yesterday on the East Coast, in which a JetBlue spokesman was able to send an e-mail to a Journal reporter and receive a reply. Several airlines have discussed pilots of similar services and what to charge for them, but JetBlue's system is the first to take off with passengers.

Its very much required now ! Internet and Mobiles are becoming part of life and spending without them for 20-25 hours to fly to India or US is measrable. Lets hope that all indian international flights like Jet Airways, Singapore Airlines , Air India would have shortly ! I know it will take years though.

લો કરો વાત ! It happens only in India !

બિહારની કોર્ટે ભગવાન રામ અને હનુમાનજીને સમન્સ મોકલ્યા

ધનબાદ (બિહાર),તા.૬

બિહારની કોર્ટે આજે જમીન પર ગેરકાયદે દબાણના એક અનોખા કેસમાં એ હિન્દુઓના બે ભગવાન રામ અને હનુમાનજીને સમન્સ પાઠવ્યા હતા. ધનબાદ જિલ્લાની કોર્ટમાં ચાલી રહેલા જમીન પર કબજો જમાવવાના કેસમાં વારંવાર સમન્સ પાઠવ્યા છતાં ભગવાન કોર્ટ સમક્ષ હાજર નહિ થતા હોવાથી કોર્ટને આ કેસની સુનાવણી છેલ્લા ત્રણ વર્ષથી વારંવાર મોકૂફ રાખવી પડે છે.

વિવાદાસ્પદ જમીનની માલિકી ભગવાનની હોવાની બચાવ પક્ષની દલીલને પગલે અદાલતનો નિર્ણય

ધનબાદની ફાસ્ટટ્રેક કોર્ટમાં ચાલી રહેલા આ કેસમાં વિવાદાસ્પદ જમીનની માલિકી ભગવાનની હોવાની બચાવ પક્ષની દલીલને આધારે અદાલતે ભગવાન રામ અને હનુમાનજીને સમન્સ પાઠવીને કોર્ટમાં હાજર રહેવાનું ફરમાન કર્યું હતું.

ધનબાદમાં જે જમીનનો વિવાદ થયો છે તે જમીન ધનબાદના ભૂતપૂર્વ શાસકોએ ભગવાનને ભેંટમાં આપી હતી તેથી આ જમીનના માલિક ભગવાન ખુદ છે, તેમ જણાવાયું હતું.

આ રજૂઆત બાદ વકીલે જણાવ્યું હતું કે આ કેસમાં ભગવાન જમીનના માલિક હોવાથી તેઓ પણ એક પક્ષકાર હોવાથી તેમને કોર્ટમાં હાજર કરવા જોઈએ. ભગવાનના નામે આ કેસમાં રાહતની માગણી કરવામાં આવી રહી છે, તેમ વકીલ બીજાન રાવાણીએ જણાવ્યું હતું. તેમણે ઉમેર્યું હતું કે જ્યાં સુધી ભગવાનને પક્ષકાર ન બનાવવામાં આવે. ત્યા સુધી આ દાવો પૂર્ણ થઈ શકે નહિ.

ભગવાનને જારી કરવામાં આવેલા સમન્સ મંદિરમાં તેમની મૂર્તિ આગળ મૂકવામાં આવ્યા હતા. ભગવાન રામ અને હનુમાનનું મંદિર ગેરકાયદે દબાણ દ્વારા પચાવી પાડવામાં આવેલી જમીન પર બનાવવામાં આવ્યું હોવાથી આ વિવાદ થયો હતો.

આ બન્ને ભગવાનને કોર્ટમાં હાજર કરવા માટે અખબારોમાં નોટિસ પ્રસિઘ્ધ કરાવવામાં પણ આવી હતી.
