[edit] NetBSD

Hey, I just wanted to say that it's good to see someone taking an interest in working over the NetBSD article. It had been the most out of date and incomplete of the BSD articles for a while and I had only done a tiny bit to improve it to complement the OpenBSD one. Anyways, you may want to check OpenBSD's for some ideas on what to do and how if you want to take this article further, we've pretty much completed an overhaul of it over the past 4 months and it's pretty slick now. Like I say, it's good to see someone take an interest in fleshing it out. Janizary 01:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AIX/ESA based off OSF/1?

I was editing the AIX article and saw a previous editor had said that AIX/ESA was based off of OSF/1 and I saw it again on the OSF/1/Tru64 page. I didn't see anything in IBM docs about this (although they probably wouldn't mention it anyways), I was just wondering what source you got the information from. TimP 03:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] FYI

[edit] Y-MP photo

Thanks for catching that slight memory lapse on my old Cray photo. Davepape 15:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MagTape

Thanks for getting some facts straight on the Stringy floppy page and the formats template. I find the endless tape loop concept fascinating. Do you have any more info on the topic? Maybe you know the dates for the Entrepo product? -- Austin Murphy 23:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number system in British Aircraft identification

Thanks for your comments; I, too, have gone back and forth on the number system; however, not that this is a passion of mine, but some of the sites that I was recently editing, other editors had indicated that this is now the common convention for British designations. I am an author myself and consulted a number of style guides to find that the most recently published manuscripts now all had adopted this style. You may also notice that nearly all historical sites on significant British aircraft, e.g. [[1]] will use this system. One of the other aspects of adopting a commonality is to move away from the inevitable mixing of different numbering systems. Bzuk 02:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC).

Following up on the site that you had given me, I noticed that the de Havilland Comet [[2]] used the new convention while all the other articles did not but seemed to be done by the same author. In checking, it turns out to be not a historian but a commercial site that was responsible: [3] Look at the following reputable site for the modern numbering system: Hawker Hurricane [4] Supermarine Spitfire [5] Avro Lancaster [6] Modern aircraft [7]

I would tend to agree with you on your latest comments except for the fact there are more sources that now use the contemporary marking and designations. The site you indicated RAF Museum Aircraft Thesaurus, with a foreword by Dr. Michael A. Fopp, Director General has on the first page, at least four grammatical errors, two spelling mistakes and even two errors in his name, not a great start! LOL :} Bzuk 13:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] British military aircraft designations

Oops Sea Mosquito missed that - thanks. Just to say sorry I changed the article to a table in the middle of your editing efforts ! - I just though it would make it clearer. MilborneOne 21:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pentium - 5th generation

Thanks. I thought I'd heard of some PC compatibility issue with the 186 that meant it couldn't be used in clones, but I didn't remember any details. Guy Harris 23:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of active United Kingdom military aircraft

Thanks for your support - most of the air force articles appear to be in this format so I decided to change. I agree with your comment on "foreign designations" I will change the article. MilborneOne 21:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
