Highly Out Of The Ordinary

In 1972 people used typewriters. But now, the Democrats have uncovered release 0.0001 of Microsoft Word. Seems they didn't think this one through.

A few facts.

On August 12, 1981, IBM released their new computer, named the IBM PC. The "PC" stood for "personal computer" making IBM responsible for popularizing the term "PC".

The "Microsoft Disk Operating System" or MS-DOS was based on QDOS, the "Quick and Dirty Operating System" written by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products, for their prototype Intel 8086 based computer. In July 1981, Microsoft purchased all rights to this operating system for $50,000.

To put this in perspective, Windows was not available for about 10 more years.

Also, the documents in question were not printed on paper with a "letterhead" ...just plain white paper with a very small "top" margin. Very strange.

I think the Democrats are so desparate, they will attempt anything to save their party.

They are done.

The right would be crucified; the left will get away with it. ..amazing.

When this story first broke, and before we knew they were fakes, I was already thinking, "so what?"

What young man isn't occasionally uncooperative? The right-up would be disappointing maybe, but damning...no.

Someone gave this a lot of thought, in that it was negative, but not outrageous...more believable that way.

I told you this was shaping up to be an absolutely miserable election.

And I have to disagree, Key -- the unbelievable arrogance behind this attempt to discredit President Bush is outrageous.

Again, I have to ask -- do we LIKE people who think we are this stupid?
