I loved getting a new version of borland C. You would receive a box with 23 3.5" floppy disks and have to sit there for a few hours while the installation software said, "Please insert disk #" Of course this was on my massive 15 inch monitor. I was totally amazed when I received a version with a CD-ROM. Not that my PC had a CD-ROM, but a little Novel Networks magic and you could remote mount a drive. Heady days indeed.

Will the UK stop giving Obama and Pelosi ideas!!! I'm part of the 40% that do pay taxes in the US.

Second innovation. Possible subclaim or an entirely new patent! Have it charged to the phone bill. Dam! Now I lost two patents.

If they put a phone number and bill number at the bottom of the check, each patron could call the number, enter the bill number, and pay his portion of the check by amount and credit card # (CC# possibly encoded in the phones memory, passwd for security, etc..). I'm sure application software can make it work on even the smallest cell phone lcd. Oh dam! Public disclosure. Now I lost my patent!
