Segmentation Fault posted:I can't be the only one tired of those sites that pretend they're slideshows where you scroll down to advance to the next slide I was annoyed to find that when this project I follow relaunched their site it was to look like this  It's like you need to make your website an infographic because everything has to be a loving infographic now. It could be worse, at least they're not videos.I guess in about 10 years the company I work for is going to be like "we're going to hire a consultant to update our online presence and make it more relevant" and it will end up looking like that slide poo poo.

microsoft encarta and similar were really good and it is somehow weird that we got it for free in the 90s and now we have to make do with the autistic wall of text variant in wikipedia sure wikipedia covers a *lot* more at *much* greater depth, but the way i recall it encarta was well edited and had some pretty good illustrations and maps (nevermind the gimmicky multimedia stuff)

the e in the apple emac line stood for ecto cooler, in order to get children interested in technology, and scare thieves away from robbing school libraries because it implied the machines were haunted.

Their next impossible task is hunting for profit in buttcoins: Hey good to see you again StarkingBarfish "by Bob Cowles (Cyber Security Expert, BrightLite Information Security, USA)" I wonder if this is one of those bitcoiners who posts about how they're constantly depressed and have no money and just dump all of their time and effort into trying to evangelize for bitcoin Hell it might even be interesting to watch, I bet a few people stand up and ask "why are you trying to push this retarded poo poo on us" or "did you forget to take your meds this morning?"

Sham bam bamina! posted:that was just a demo iirc you're thinking of the windows 95 and 98 cds, which usually had short non-interactive demos of a bunch of MS products including Encarta on them. a very large amount of computers sold between Windows 3.1 coming out and like 2000 were sold bundled with full versions of either Encarta or other encyclopedia programs. because they were multimedia and that's what you did. both of the computers my parents bought in the 90s, a Compaq in 1994 and an NEC in 1997 came bundled with Encarta, the latter one was also bundled with "Microsoft Bookshelf" which was like, a dictionary, thesaurus, and a smaller version of Encarta for the "concise encyclopedia" section. i'm not sure if there even was demos of encarta that actually functioned as standalone programs rather than being collections of screenshots and a demo video.
