Consider this screen shot. How do I disable Microsoft's friendly front-end so I can dig in and find out what went wrong? In less than forty minutes I had the answer. Excellent!

Bernie De Koven describes an experiment he did with online technography.

PJama is an "experimental persistent programming system for the Java programming language, that embodies the notion of orthogonal persistence: an approach to making application data persist between program executions with the minimum possible effort required from the application programs themselves." Frontier users have had one of these since 1992; all globals in Frontier persist, you have to do nothing to make them persist. That's pretty close to minimum!

A wise person asked "If Nirvana was the code name for Frontier 6, what could possibly come after that? In other words, what would the codename for Frontier 7 be?" Hmmmm.

Another wise person once asked, many years ago, how could there possibly be a WordPerfect 2.0? Maybe that was their downfall?
