Al Gore sticks with Windows 2000

I was just looking at more recent additions to the UltraMon multi-monitor
gallery, and I saw Al Gore in there. He uses Windows 2000.

Actually, as my friend just pointed out, that does look like an Apple
keyboard, and the browser he's using looks like Safari. Also, he has three
monitors, not two, and those old video cards would struggle with high
resolution widescreens.

Yes, I have a G400 Max, a G450 and a Parhelia 256. But those older cards
will struggle at 32bits at the high resolutions that can be seen. They do
not have enough memory.

With those screens he must have a modern system with DVI connections and, by
the look of it, an Apple Mac.

It makes sense to me that he would be using Apple equipment - he is on their
Board of Directors.

Those displays might be Apple 30" Cinema displays, which are dual-link
DVI, so he isn't driving them with anything less than a trio of GeForce
6600GTs.

Some of those setups make my 17" + 19" look pretty weak..... ;-)

He's advanced that far? In such a short time?

Last I heard he was inventing the internet using HP Basic with a 100 baud
connection and a tube based computer...but did he turn the air conditioners
off to save energy?

I hesitate to wade into a non-technical discussion, especially with a poster
who won't post under their real name (and why not? Why are you hiding?).

But ... Gore has been unfairly caricatured for claiming he "invented the
Internet", during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. It is
well-documented he made no such claim.

Al Gore played a significant role in opening up the research ARPANET to
general public use; and in that sense, he can rightly claim to have helped
create "the Internet" as we generally know it today. For example, he
provided the legislative background for the Internet in the US, by
draughting and sponsoring the "High Performance Computing and Communication
Act of 1991". His role was publicly acknowledged by Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf
who, everyone would agree, rank among the many genuine inventors of the
Internet:

So let's just drop all the "Gore sez he invented the Internet" crap. It's an
urban myth. People can have opinions for-or-against Gore, for other reasons;
but this isn't one of them.

Since US politicians and US politics are off-topic for
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, I recommend we terminate the
discussion here.
