...Traditionally, Microsoft has allowed older license-holders a fairly lengthy transition period. Customer and corporate licenses for Microsoft Disk Operating System (DOS) 6.xx, one of Microsoft’s most successful products, were available for sale from 1994 to 2001—a staggering seven years . During this period, Windows 95, 98, 98 Second Edition, 2000, and Millennium Edition were all released, but Microsoft continued to offer DOS as a viable option for its clients with older hardware or software needs .

Again, all the roaches scurried around randomly for a while, but the robots eventually settled under the lighter, less shadowy disk - and the real cockroaches followed. Which means that the hypothesis - that a group of individual bugs, each with just two cognitive "rules," can make a collective decision about shelter - appears to be correct...
...union Des Musées Nationaux French museums club together and peddle products from this online shop. The replica jewelry looks startlingly modern, like the Lydian pierced-disk pendant ($58-$330, various sizes and materials) - based on one found in a 6th century B.C. tomb in what is now Turkey. The gilt-bead necklace - the original comes from Iron Age Tréglonou, Brittany - has a definite touch of class ($209). www.museesdefrance.com...
