Interesting. I had zero issues using my Amex in France and Switzerland this past summer. In fact, there was only one restaurant that I visited that wouldn't take it. I must have been lucky.

At the time NT came out, it wasn't 100% POSIX compliant, but close enough for government work. One stipulation in NT's subsystem at the time was that fork() needed to be followed by exec().

In elementary school in Wisconsin in the 70s, we lost our milk cartons in favor of the bagged milk. Although it may have been sold as eco-friendly, the real driving reason was cost reduction: it was less expensive to package and transport m
