It’s usable and the design echoes the white & transparent plastic of the Eee Top’s build but nothing special. As for the stylus it’s a basic 14cm stick of plastic with a tapered nib; the only thing worth noting is the strength of the bay spring which is enough to launch the pen across the desk. Despite looking a whole lot more grown up than any netbook (and taking up more of your workspace) the guts of the Eee Top are in fact on a par with any of the company’s more recent budget ultraportables. 6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard-drive.

First we have simply outgrown Farringdon Road. During the past 32 years we have expanded acquired a Sunday newspaper and grown a website. The Saturday paper alone is perhaps 15 to 20 times the size of its equivalent in 1976; the Observer probably five or six times. We’ve colonised assorted warehouses and office blocks in EC1. Any longer and the fire inspectors would have had us. Second the buildings are – to put it politely – showing their age.

Radical Faith: The Revolution of John Perkins
Jackson Free Press MS
Not good to see you here but good to see you as a human being. ” The kids respond with “Yes Sir. ” If this were an audio scene one might think he is speaking to a prep school.

Such A Lot Of Fools
Cleveland Free Times OH
Consider this: During my first radio-news gig at the Elyria-based WEOL and WNWV ("The Wave") between 1988 and 1993 it was not unusual for me on assignment to run into reporters Vic Gideon of then-WWWE Anita Quinn of WMJI Francine Kane of WGAR Tom Moore of WERE and the fine folks of public radio's WCPN and WKSU. Collectively we nurtured a friendly competition to see who could race back to his or her station to break the story on the air. By the time I was hired at WWWE and its sister station WLTF in July 1993 the competition between Cleveland's newsrooms had grown even more fierce because of the rapid succession of owners each more powerful than the last. One of those heavy hitters was Randy Michaels and his Cincinnati-based Jacor Communications. Thanks to deregulation and a Wall Street-financed buying spree he was able to snap up WWWE and WLTF (which changed their call letters to WTAM and WMVX respectively) to add to his stable of properties. In a mere 18 months Jacor grew from just 26 stations in 1995 to 149 outlets by the summer of 1997. I remember a tropical August evening when Michaels celebrated his burgeoning empire by renting the Nautica Queen and inviting the two stations' staffs to party with their counterparts from WMJI WGAR and WMMS all of which Michaels had acquired around the same time.
