I would disagree, a sensible limit that cannot overwhelm the machine even if a multi threaded server is processing its maximum number of emails, should be enforced.
The correct response to a breach of this limit would be for a reply email to explain the limit and why the email was rejected.
The user then could send multiple emails with their attachments, and the system can be sized to handle e.g. 24 threads processing 64 attachments of a maximum size of e.g. 4096kb
That's how you ensure a system sized to your hardware and ensure maximum throughput for all users.
iPads have found many niche uses, e.g. in retail, and for people on the road who use only a few apps (e.g. sales or health professionals)
iPads are also great educational tools where kids can interact with the device but don't have to contend with a full blown OS.
It's interesting also that the iPad is kinda growing up to be more of a full blown device for more content creation, since the hardware is clearly more than up to the task, the OS can be kept fairly simple and secure - clearly Apple are responding to what customers have been asking for, and what they're asking for is more iPad.
>anyway, i find windows 10 to be the superior os.
Why would you compare iOS to Windows 10?
The better comparison would be Mac OS X (Microsoft I noticed couldn't wait to get to 10, won't be long before they're calling it windows X I'm sure :))
I find Mac OS X to be the superior OS to Windows, since for yeeears I can run fantastic Mac apps and build and run fantastic Unix apps all on the same fantastic hardware.
>Epically focused leadership.
Just to support that, I remember hearing a story told by Larry Elison (they were apparently neighbours for a while), where he would pop over to see Steve, and would be subjected to the 100th viewing of Toy Story where Jobs was obsessively pointing out every new tiny improvement they'd made in the story or graphics.
On a slightly related note, I have to say I love the whole folklore website. It adds a really human face to the fascinating developments in IT at that time, and a lot of that I think comes from Andy Hertzfeld who tells a story really well.
It's hard to be nice and fluffy in a market where there's a lot of competition, but there's degrees. When you deliberately attempt to sabotage other people's software that has to run on your OS, but competes with an MS Product (e.g. Lotus vs Excel) then it's stepping over a line.
Thanks goodness for Linux and the web (and later mobile computing which MS failed to dominate) to pull us away from the brink of an MS monoculture.
I had a Mac Performa from the OS 7 days, and Inside Macintosh from the same time - but with the C API from what I remember, and used Metrowerks CodeWarrior as the development IDE. It was a great introduction to GUI programming, and CodeWarrior was a great IDE too.
I noticed this from the first pascal code example:
TEIdle(textH); {call TextEdit to make vertical bar blink}
