In the News It does not happen every day that news related to computer technology - news we report on every day - makes its way to the headline news programs and newspapers here in my home country, The Netherlands. So when it does, I am usually on the edge of my seat, simply because it offers an interesting glimpse into how 'normal' people perceive our little world. The last few days, however, that casual interest has made way for something else - tooth gnashing irritation.

I have a Dell laptop with P2 233 and 64 MB of RAM that won't run the 2.6 kernel. Granted it's probably a decade old now, but still.
