I don't remember QDOS but I remember QDOS II (or QDOS 2?) from about 1985-1987 or so, which I think was stood for Quick DOS and ran on top of DOS. It was a great graphical way (as in, ASCII graphics) to use DOS for people that didn't really know how to use DOS. I wonder if the latter was a related to the same company.

We're talking about a watch here, not the future of Apple. This is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. The Biden admin is doing the right thing by letting things unfold in court and Apple are being treated the same and anyone else should be.

Personally I think Apple will overstep any bound they can in favor of expanding their market control, and I would like to see them curbed whenever they try to muscle out a potential competitor, but that's just me. In the end we must make sure that ultimate fairness is what prevails, and the courts will hopefully be successful in making that happen.

No. Nobody would remember that. Why? Because that never happened. Ever. I don't know where the hell you keep getting this idea from and keep repeating it, because it's completely false.

I don't know where the hell you were in the 70s but I sure as hell saw a lot of Pay-per-View channels that were delivered to the home by cable companies and they had ZERO commercials at first. And then slowly they all added commercials until it got to to where we are today. I lived it, punk. Chill out.
