Computer History
August 27 1993
- Compaq Introduces Presario
August 28 1991 - First E-mail From Space Is Sent Today

Aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis (mission STS-43), an AppleLink, running on a Macintosh Portable is used to send the first email from space. Astronauts Shannon Lucid and James C. Adamson send the message, “Hello Earth! Greetings from the STS-43 Crew. This is the first AppleLink from space. Having a GREAT time, wish you were here,…send cryo and RCS! Hasta la vista, baby,…we’ll be back!” to Marcia Ivins, a shuttle communicator at the Johnson Space Center. AppleLink was interfaced to NASA’s communication system to allow the Shuttle to call up GEIS’ network from space. The Shuttle’s e-mail address is a secret, but exposed to GEIS’ email network as any other AppleLink address would be. To avoid a deluge of incoming mail generated by the media publicity surrounding the event, Apple set up a number of obvious “honeypot” addresses, such as STS43@AppleLink, to draw unwanted mail. - (From The Great Geek Manual)

Feedback

Hi Guys... I've been listening for a few shows now. I write alot of the
fake commercials Casey runs on SciFi Surplus.

In your last show, you commented on Netbooks and their return rates. I've
been looking at Netbooks for a while now, and what I keep coming back to is
that it seems the ones with better specs come with XP by default. So, when
we think about return rates, I'm wondering how many people are buying
Netbooks with a Microsoft OS, nuking it, and installing Ubuntu or something
like that?

The reason I don't already have a Netbook is because the price gap between
a mid-level Netbook and a low end laptop isn't much at all, and I can't
decide which would be the better purchase. I wonder if you or your
listeners have had any experiences with Netbooks that really makes them
stand out versus a cheap laptop?

Keep up the good work guys!

-Bob
