#27098 #To PD, or not PD? Message #27189
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP Forum unknown · Help/Announcements July 19, 1986 10:28 AM
Scott, CompuServe has never claimed to "own" the programs; in fact, we've gone to great lengths to make clear that our policy does nothing to supersede prior rights of the author of a given file. If you've seen any statement or document attributed to CompuServe that suggests otherwise, I'd like…

As an example of the confidence many have in the ability of services like CompuServe to reach the user community at large, Apple Computer has very recently released the latest operating system for the Mac – by authorizing the operators of MAUG ™ – the Apple Forums here on CompuServe…

#24740 Renaming Message #25005
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP Forum unknown · Sysop's Corner July 2, 1986 8:21 AM
John, I must point out that a larger problem than the "renaming" issue exists if you are using files obtained in our Data Libraries without first obtaining the permission of CompuServe and/or the author of the file/program. As described in the CIS Rules of Operation (GO RULES), all materials on…

Pariseau/Miner Message #19951
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP Forum unknown · Community Square May 24, 1986 2:49 AM
In a story titled "Parting Shots at Commodore", which just appeared in Online Today Electronic Edition's "Behind the Scenes" section, writer James Moran suggests that former VP of Software Development Bob Pariseau feels he was dismissed because of his stance on the impending company-wide layoffs. "I guess Commodore knew just…

#19876 So Far… Message #19877
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP The Amiga Forum · Tool Box May 23, 1986 4:53 PM
Dave, Er, you can have your choice: congratulations or sympathy. I'm inclined to say you've done a h*ll of a good job at what you've done, and therefore suggest the congrats! Best, —
#19762- #Amiga Sidecar. Message #19764
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP The Amiga Forum · Forum Business May 22, 1986 8:08 PM
My understanding is that the internals will be pretty much the same, in order to maintain compatibility. There may be some nice, non-disruptive additions, like a built-in reset switch (Brian can probably confirm whether these survived to the latest iteration). But, although the board has probably been redone and components…
#19758 #Amiga Sidecar. Message #19761
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP The Amiga Forum · Forum Business May 22, 1986 8:01 PM
It's a repackaging of the 64, a modernization of sorts (and a manufacturing and component cost reduction). As a prominent engineer at Commodore (still at CBM, thank goodness!) described it, it looks like a "sawed-off 128".
