Now you have to add "A quick tap on Rodger" as well.
(My favourites from the printed version were 'SPAD' - Signal Passed At Danger, and Red Wings.)

optical drive?
surely it would have been closer to the original spec to have all drives external ... use USB3?
and give people the option of purchasing low density FDD as well, hell, fab up HD, Zip, minidisc (for the music nerds) and even a cassette drive for that 'wait half an hour for 32k to load' experience.
will still get one

Koran Burning for Dummies
Considering the Koran is also recited and learnt rote, the idea of burning a text version of it as a symbol of resistance or protest misses the point. The symbolism is closer to book or cross burning which have different resonances in the US and abroad. Setting fire to an effigy of Muhammad (Praise, etc) instead might either offend the intended recipients more, or have no effect at all, seeing as the Prophet is portrayed in paintings or drawings with a flaming halo. The idea of burning an english language version of the Koran might even appeal to isolationist or orthodox / traditionalist Muslims.
I always thought the Koran would appeal to nerds and open-source fanatics simply because it begins with a version history... "This is version A recited to person B recited to person C to person D" etc ...

Nemesis / Torquemada
While we're all grousing about the good old days of Toothy and how accurate the film will (won't) be, why not sell the Nemesis / Torquemada rights off to a Japanese studio? There are a number of magical / demons / robots / corrupt leaders themed series of anime around, and they're bent enough to pull it off. Just a thought. Off to the shed to clean Cheryl.
