So begins the old Orange tagline.

Am I the only person that utterly hates the "Verified by Visa" service?

Every single time I use it, it asks for 3 letters from my password. And every single time I use it, it refuses the letters I enter resulting in my having to think up a new password for it. Yet it obviously remembers the passwords as it won't let me reuse any of them.

What other possible explanation could there be?

Well, today was fun.

I finally got my hands on OS4.1 for the A1. The good folks at AmigaKit didn't take any chances, shipping in packaging that could ward off just about anything short of a direct thermonuclear strike. Well, that would be true if fusion detonations didn't have the slight tendency to be tens of millions of Kelvin which is detrimental on most packaging materials, but I digress.

I got back from work this evening and unpacked it. OS4.1 came in a standard...
