Reminds me of the old SNL Bassomatic skit.
Good old Microsoft — selling features instead of benefits. Some things never change.

It's a shock that the same company who brought us Windows could also make the Xbox. Without J. Allard, I worry about its future.

wait... I had that clock on my Amiga 500! And Reversi! And notepad! ...or something like it. So what gives?
It makes me sad that those features seemed advanced, when something as complex as the Sketchpad had been created a good amount of time before. (more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad)

(Note: Its not completely related, but its just that the Sketchpad seemed to me much more advanced than what had Stevy here so excited)

Hell, NeXT was founded 25 years ago.
