I have read that it is easier to kill something, if you have severed all emotional ties to it. So, I am not surprised that IBM killed lotus with no fanfare. Not to say that it wasn't emotional for some, I am sure it was.

Many years ago tried to hack the 1-2-3 installation security (a friend had the install media, but had used up all his permitted installs) in DOS Debug. I gave up when:
The install media was 5" floppy discs and there was a hole punched in the disc and the install program looked for a read error at that location.
I tried to bypass the code that detected the read error and found that the program was writing to a block of memory that turned out to be the an interrupt handler and the code then explicitly called the interrupt handler!
This was way before it got to the point of checking the number of installs.
Memories < sigh/>

Probably not the best place to ask, but I'd like to buy a few Vasco Rossi[^] albums for Missus. However, I have absolutely no idea which ones (3-5) would be 'the best'.
I would greately appreciate all the suggestions you may have.

Bollicine!
Man, it's about time people in CP started talking about Real rockers, rather than the nancy boys they go on about.

I haven't heard Vasco's music yet(will when I get home), so I wonder who is a Real rocker in your opinion ?

There are a few Rossi bits on youtube.

I do agree with you even though sometimes make-up(like corpse paint in black metal) fits the mood of the band.
I never did like the 80's glam however, not that they aren't good bands,it's just not my style.
Youtube doesn't help me as I have no sound, so I'll have to wait for about 8 hours

He's not a singer, he's a rocker -- Hell, he couldn't hit a note with a three-pound hammer!

That could be true, even if I have a different idea of rocker ; he definitely has no idea of what notes are but he is labelled also as singer-songwriter by his fans

Thanks! Seems that this is going to be in the cart

Even if i don't like him too much, i would suggest the oldest albums, the new ones are more commercial... well it depends on what your missus prefers
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, good point. The older ones seem to be more like it (as far as I can say )
|
|
|
|
|
Warning: just my personal taste.
Bollicine.
C'è chi dice no.
Fronte del Palco.
Gli Spari Sopra.
Rewind.
As already suggested older albums are far better than the most recent ones. I don't like anything after 'Rewind'.

5imone pointed out the same thing so I think I'll stick to the older ones

Based on my personal taste I would suggest you the following:
- Colpa d'Alfredo
- Buoni o cattivi
- Vado al massimo
- Canzoni per me
- C'è chi dice no
How so that you got interest in Vasco?
Cheers
