Of course, when asked about this exact topic beforehand, the government claimed that such consequences would certainly not occur and that all the speculation from unions and social organizations was pure scaremongering. Does anyone still bother counting how many times we've been screwed over and lied to?

Well, somehow that's a boring consideration - I don't know how many sci-fi stories have already done this. But if it really were a simulation - who the hell wrote this crappy software? I mean, look at it - sure, the software manages to create nearly perfect large-scale nuclear fusion reactors, but can't produce intelligent politicians. What's the point of this nonsense ...

What amazes me much more is how, after all the shady dealings of the Kohl era that came to light, cities still offer honorary citizenship to the fat man ...

What I always find amusing about this: the Federal Audit Office points out obvious waste and clearly recognizable abuses. But has a government ever actually eliminated these as a result? Has a government ever drawn the logical conclusion and pulled out the Federal Audit Office's list when considering savings and put these points right at the top?
Nope. Instead, each new government term finds new ways to strip benefits from citizens and then still manages to sell it as a great innovation. And voters are dumb enough to let them get away with it.

I recently (P2982) had the case where Lotus Agenda catapulted the date on my HP 200 LX back to 1985. I've now figured out what caused it. The funny thing about it: I had the same problem with Think Tank. In both cases, the date in the settings file was to blame - it didn't have a valid date and the PDA simply assumed 1985. And apparently when accessing such a file, the HP has a problem and resets the system date. After I updated the Think Tank options file and the environment file in Lotus Agenda with touch to a current date, everything works. Finally got an organizer with really sensible software. Really, I'm only missing Word 5.0 (the only truly good program from Microsoft) and the organizer would be pretty much perfect. Okay, Microsoft Works 1.0 is also acceptable, but a bit lean on features.
I'll see if I tackle some installation attempts of Visual Basic for DOS this evening, another crazy piece of software I have lying around here (I think I still have DBase IV somewhere too, while we're talking about crazy stuff).
