| 210242 | 2004-01-27 01:00:00 | I've since read the story and might add . Why pay around $1000 more for a comp that won't do anymore than a "proper" computer. Just notice who tha author was too: Shame on you Bruce. Jack |

| 210246 | 2004-01-27 10:23:00 | Some people think it's not COOL to have an "in" conversation. Not everyone has access to PC World. Explain yourselves - or go into CHAT Those going potty wondering..... what...? would like to share the joke -specially the ones who thought they were already pretty cool. |

| 210247 | 2004-01-27 10:47:00 | Just a guess but i presume there is an article in the latest mag entitled the rebirth of cool and it is about those little cube pc's. They have a name,it escapes me at the mo. |

| 210248 | 2004-01-27 10:50:00 | I'm still trying to understand Spruce Buckmann's post, my poor deprived tired brain cannot compete with grammatical diffculties.... | Growly (6) | ||
| 210249 | 2004-01-28 00:56:00 | You young ones :) This is the connection with jazz. Let's go back a while: original meaning;COOL=laid back, hence COOL jazz as in Miles Davis (look him up in Google if you dont know who that is). On the other hand HOT= feverish, as in New Orleans jazz, eg Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton. Though it can also be said that Bix Beiderbecke also had his hot moments, go to page 2 and click on HTOTW#6, and tell me what you think. Also Sprucy (if that is his name, is also refering to 'The Birth of the Blues' if I'm not mistaken? |
