"Apolyton Location's Thread" in my Staff View

where's this? i presume not available for non-staffers.
but thanks for that list anyway

and as i said: not many (maybe 10 within 300km, and lots inactive).


but i don't want to take this further off topic (after all, it IS a birthday thread)... i was just whining that the culture borders of apolyton havn't spread this far yet and only a few scouts are roaming this area

[Tassadar500]

You know the Staff Views on the birthday site? That's what he's talking about.

[sabrewolf]

yup, read all of them, but none by darkcloud. and DC's part

THE YEAR IN...
LISTS
By DarkCloud

has no link...

oh well.

btw: if any programming needs to be done, i maybe could help out. i'm nowhere near the standard of gramphos, but who knows, maybe there is something...

[Locutus]

DC's feature is yet to be posted. But in that feature he links to (among other things) this thread, which is what he was referring to in the first place.

Sabrewolf, we could use your programming expertise in the CtP2 Source Code Project

[sabrewolf]

oh, that thread is in the archives (should be topped in this thread imho)

i never played CtP2, so i would first have to play several 1000 hours for that
once took a look into freeciv, but was both overwhelmed (by the size) and disgusted (by c++... i have a strong antipathy against it )

i was more referring to web-based programming (have experience with php (yay!), asp (yuck!) and lots of coldfusion (lesser, but still yuck!).

Yo Dan! Good article. I commend you on not using "Good golly, miss molly" this time. You have successfully clawed your way out of dorkhood.

s the most used version of this OS (62.3%), with Windows 2000 and Windows98 in a distant second (13.2%) and third (12.1%) respectively. Macintosh (2.1%) tops Linux (1.3%) ford third spot, but the collective 'unknown' takes second at 2.7%. Internet Explorer is still the dominant browser, but down ~10% over last June to 76%. Mozilla has lept into secon

So specific numbers for older Windows, such as Windows 3.1, aren't counted any more?

PS Excellent feature, guys.

[MarkG]

entire feature is posted now

many thanks to locutus for going through a 2-years news archive and darkcloud for his lists

Numbers for older Windows operating systems are still counted, yes, but the percentages are so small and so close together I elected not to include them in the article. That said, I am inferencing that you are interested in this data and perhaps others are as well.

For last month, there were 27(!) recorded visits from users running 3.1 whose Windows usage share translates into near zero. Me share stood at 4.2%, while 95 took 0.4%.

What's wrong with MS Works? The latest version is 2004, for many home users and small companies it's an excellent cheap alternative to an expensive Office package, with a set of software much more suitable to their needs. I don't use it myself, but I've recommended it to others.

If all you need is a word processor and a simple personal finance manager, why on earth would you pay for more? (Of course, there's always non-MS products, but unfortunately most people would never even consider that)

(MS Works includes MS Word BTW)

Well these folks told me they didnt have the upgrade Locutus so i am assuming they had 95..

But then again I have works & word..I had to install my old 95 cd to get access to some old files 10 years old when i got my XP..I aint the guru you folks are, i just know that when i tried to open WORKS from XP and OFFICE 2000 it wouldnt

BUt thats another story..

Thanks for letting me know that works is still up and running, had no idea..for real..thought it went by the wayside woith 95-98 Windows

That's odd, never heard of that before. Obviously, Works95 (or similar) was never designed for WinXP, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work on it.

Then again, it might be another dirty MS ploy to force people to upgrade. If true, my opinion of MS just sunk to a new low, sabotaging their own software to extort more money from their customers

Anyway, FYI a modern version of MS Word should still be able to open old MS Works95 files, you normally shouldn't need an actual copy of Works for that.

Forgot to reply to this. Yes, in the OT. Check out this thread. It would be great if you could make it to Paris (which is after all not too far from where you are)
