After the terrorist attacks last September, the industry was convinced businesses would be frantically implementing them. It didn't happen. The reason? One analyst says it's the lack of money and maybe, for some, the memory of the devastation is fading. http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid5_gci849517,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ ::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= LIVE EXPERT WEBCAST | Networking your way into a new job What: Networking your way into a new job Who: Rick Nashleanas of Monarch Technology When: Thurs, Sept 12 at 3:00 pm EDT The current economy has every IT job seeker frustrated.

Old games get new life on eBay Got software that's as dated as one of George Hamilton's leisure suits? Excellent -- because vintage is good! One guy who's been collecting (hoarding) software for 20 years is blowing the dust off 250,000 titles and putting them up for auction on eBay. More than half of his apps came out before 1990, and many of them are games that were designed for Apple II, Amiga, Atari, Commodore 64, CP/M, Macs and other classic machines. Getting misty yet? Most of this rare software is in its original packaging and will be up for bid through Sept. 17.
