1400 baud is not a standard modem speed.
More likely 1200 baud.

I'm not going to live another 10 years. And I can run Windows 7 and 8

Got you beat:

On my Macbook, I can run OS X, Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux (both under
Virtual Box), and a Mac "Classic OS" emulator called SheepShaver,
simultaneously, for four. Five, if you're willing to count the MAME
emulator.

Dunno how much actual VMS is in it, though. VMS is still my operating
system of choice and my old Vaxstation II (yes, I know) my sentimental
favourite.

But my oldest computer is the old 8-bit with some Compu-pro bits in
it, running CP/M. I got rid of my first, the Olivetti office book-
keeping computer with the teletype terminal - no fancy video screens,
thank-you.

sf,

Unlocking is a firmware fix to allow the iPhone to use other carriers
instead of AT&T.

The second part of your question is precisely correct. We're able to use
other sites for great software, reuniting users and developers without
Apple's overlord way of picking and choosing which apps do or don't
belong in the AppStore.

The jailbreakers find exploits in the firmware and we're out of AppStore
"jail." Then Apple patches the exploit in a firmware update. It's a
battle between Apple and the generous jailbreaker community, who freely
donate their time and expertise to keep the iPhones free.

Best,

Andy

Since it was a clean slate, probably little actual VMS but it would have
benefitted from lessons learned.

The iPad is in reality, a training device that introduces users to the

we already know how to operate the darn things. Smart move on Apple's part.

You're running an unlocked iPhone 4? Pretty gutsy. I wouldn't try that,
at least not with a year or so left on the contract.
