We were also amused that Gates suggested that there would be meetings at
which people would be pointing their tablet devices at each other and
beaming contact information: he may not know that this infrared handshaking
has been a reality with fanatical Palm owners for some time.

long, hard code to .NET
Then there was the business lunch to discuss issues pertaining to the
project I'm running Windows for. What I found amusing was that out of six
people at the table, five whipped out their Palm Pilots and started
exchanging contact information and data between them all.
I was the only one there without a Palm Pilot.
But I did have my Newton.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
