Actually the reason why there was no Windows 9 is interesting. At the time, many developers were looking to test if the user was using a version of Windows their app could run on. And they were looking for Windows 95 and Windows 98 and looking for a version number beginning with "9". So Microsoft skipped version 9. Dave Plummer had one of his videos explain that. 00:32:31 Jocelyn Doire: Replying to "Was Longhorm the oth..." ok 00:34:00 Tom Trottier: List by score - https://bank.green/sustainable-eco-banks 00:34:01 Eldon Gaw: Alterna bank is a national bank all across Canada, where as Alterna Savings is only an Ontario licensed operation 00:35:15 Phil: I wonder what the weighting is between investment portfolio and actual business practices? 00:37:23 Natalie: I wonder if you can use that template and print it on a 3D printer! 00:38:12 Bob Herres: Awesome Chris! 3D Action figure! 💗✅ 00:46:34 Tom Trottier: You can get a sense of prices by searching eBay for sold items. 00:52:11 bea: how old is vintage 00:52:48 Stew Bruce: I remember a few months back reading about massive copper wire thefts in Nova Scotia which kept knocking out communications.
