Another dip into computer archeology: CP/M and how DOS overcame CP/M. Pretty interesting video from the Computer Chronicles

Wind Italy account notification after call So this is my last note on this summer's trip (at least for now).  Last time I vacationed and needed a pre-paid SIM I was in France.  This time, I ended up with one SIM card in Greece and another in Italy.  Based on the recommendations of friends I ended up getting a Wind SIM in Greece, and a Wind SIM in Italy which seemed like the better
