PC Week : Compaq to Halt NT on Alpha development

About a year ago, I got to test-drive an Alpha/NT box for a couple months. This was when DEC was trying to woo the Mac crowd with a faster, cheaper graphics machine. Stuff that been ported to Alpha (Painter & Quark) screamed. Everything else ran under an NT emulator. The really impresive thing was that the machine "learned" NT as you used it, re-compiling into native Alpha code. Unfortunately, we could never get QuickTime installed which basically meant it was D.O.A. via slashdot.

Brave New Waves

"There's nothing wrong with your radio. Maybe it's you." Live on the Internet , Monday-Friday 00h05 - 04h00 EST. Some of my happiest moments in life have been staying up all night making art, listening to BNW.

It's election time in Saskatchewan

and the NDP is talking about free university tuition. "The idea of free tuition has raised a few eyebrows," [Janice MacKinnon] said. "Everybody's talking about it because it's innovative. But people are talking about how important education is for the new economy in the new millennium. We thought it's time to stop talking and to just do something." It's an election, but Canada got universal health-care from the Saskatchewan NDP, so maybe there's hope yet.
