For members of Generation Pacman like myself, it'd have to be the POLY-1 computer, developed @ Welly Polytech (now Massey Wgtn campus) for the education market. Muldoon pulled the plug on the project under pressure from the monetarists, followed by a knockout blow by IBM & Apple undercutting the project.
Silicon Welly isn't a new concept. What could have been indeed.

the other post on The Hand Mirror ACC's new approach to sensitive claims not working qualifies. There was a discussion on bFM's The Wire yesterday which I hope will be posted soon. 90 percent of ACC claims by victims of Sexual Violence seeking help are rejected.

A bit over 100 years ago, there was the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Fast forward to the present day, substitute Zion for Mecca, and the mentality is just the same.

Seconded... more like 1975 IMNSHO.

There's nothing real about reality TV.
