Journal JetScootr's Journal: "Windows" help for Lindows
So I'll post here, in case anyone can convey word to the brilliant minds at Lindows.
I have in my possession a Byte magazine from 1979 with ads for "Screensplitter Video Display System" describing, and I quote:
And a powerful new unit of area-the window-allows you to move blocks of text around or redimension paragraphs dynamically....Screen-splitter places the raw power of the Window Package at your control. you can create any number of "subscreens", each with a logically distinct I/O region with its own cursor, scroll control,
...
You get the idea. I don't know how far back into the past their evidence of common use of the word "Windows" goes, but it would be really really cool, to put into the hands of the jury, a magazine article and ads using that exact word and describing it even more completely than I've quoted here.
I just don't know how to get it to them.
By the way...I'm using a backup PC, it's not set up for email. That's why I don't just email it to them. "M2" in Opera 7 is just about the suckiest unusable tool I could imagine that ever came from somewhere other than microsoft.
Please post comments here, especially if you're in a position to get directly in touch with someone high enough at Lindows to make this useful.
