The latter takes some time to process all messages since it actually creates a re-indexd copy of all files for the selected message base. <br/><br/>So I thought it would make sense to &#34;flag&#34; messages for deletion, effectively excluding these from being listed or read and then have the option to physically delete them and re-arrange the message file during a maintenance window, where there is enough planned downtime for such an action.<br/><br/>Let me note that the code is by no means an example for proper #forth programming.

It&#39;s a win-win strategy ...<br/><br/>But then, a year later the #Amiga is being released by Commodore. And now the company is having exactly the opposite of the problem they had a year before: now they had *two* professional systems to offer. And that&#39;s where the trouble starts, I think.<br/><br/>The company failed to make a distinction between these two options (PC / Amiga) and when the Amiga 500 came along, Commodore management was probably pleased to sell it as a home gaming machine, manifesting an image in the industry that damaged the Amiga as a serious platform. &#34;If only the bucks roll in ...&#34; they probably thought. 2024-08-28T15:14:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9074hw9hhlvycep8ep5spysgdvv053yvapx2vjpz9czfm4ncthpgzyqculzy7vfual0jwuk8mlpypqk3fzdg23ggdm55nllz0n7dsar6pwrwuhlp A thought about #Commodore - a lot of people argue that Commodore&#39;s descision to sell PC comaptibles in 1984 was as stupid a descision as to drill a hole into the bottom of your floating ship. But is that really true?<br/><br/>Just a year ago the ill-fated B and P series of 8bit machines, intended to replace the aging CBM and PET &#34;professional&#34; series, were discontinued after being a total flop. This left Commodore without a professional product line aimed at business users. <br/><br/>Meanwhile, PC compatibles gained ground from large enterprises to small businesses.<br/><br/>Mind you, there was no Amiga at that time: that machine was still just a prototype named &#34;Lorraine&#34; being develooped by HiToro - who had just signed an agreement with Atari to sell to them the final design of their machine.<br/><br/>So from a mananagement point of view, the descision made sense: there was only minimum risk, as no R&amp;D had to be done. 2024-08-28T15:05:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs969ld69ycu8nk6ctqz27zcag24sjdrr5mfvuhqrgczgwdtp52rmczyqculzy7vfual0jwuk8mlpypqk3fzdg23ggdm55nllz0n7dsar6pw8gc2g9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszu0j4z8kfc5hm7q9yanpsr6pefty7e0gucau90meagmuyfk3znjgnx5sqx'>nevent1q…5sqx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>they&#39;re everywhere! 2024-08-28T10:49:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswjp6sxzgk37v3exuaewyyr242xqvreamhapad4yfddcwsgedyvsgzyqculzy7vfual0jwuk8mlpypqk3fzdg23ggdm55nllz0n7dsar6pw92yp4v In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8e5upw6t9ujm7tn5mj4w86j349ry3pyjy96ele24u7jtk3kglg4sd4hkcx'>nevent1q…hkcx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>😂 2024-08-22T16:04:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszr5hfw3ag4sw000j7vkn2qaga4thjtqh3wl4zrrvsxz4te4srv8czyqculzy7vfual0jwuk8mlpypqk3fzdg23ggdm55nllz0n7dsar6pwl4qhxx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw9yqqkksr43q7nggfu7d2fa4qjh58g2knkadn5pqyjmg2v5pd3sc4czkls'>nevent1q…zkls</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>fun fact: the deilvery guy was mad at me for not accepting the package.
