Are you interested in movies and radio shows from days gone by? Want to take a walk back in yesteryear? Check out the Internet Archive.

You may ask “What is the Internet Archive?” According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive):
“The Internet Archive is a San Francisco-based non-profit digital library with the stated mission of "universal access to all knowledge".[2][3] It provides free public access to collections of digitized materials, including websites, software applications/games, music, movies/videos, moving images, and nearly three million public-domain books. As of October 2012, its collection topped 10 petabytes.[4][5] In addition to its archiving function, the Archive is an activist organization, advocating for a free and open Internet.”
You can start your journey into the past by listening to some Old Time Radio shows. You have 2,442 from which to choose at: https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio

Or you can even watch full length old (even silent) movies at: https://archive.org/details/moviesandfilms with 17,327 from which to choose.

Also visit the Wayback Machine at: https://archive.org/ to see older versions of websites.

There is a lot to explore here to keep you from being bored.

edge will replace internet explorer

5/10/2015

Reports are that Edge, the new Microsoft browser which will replace Internet Explorer in Windows 10 (coming out sometime this summer) will be a leaner, meaner, cleaner Web browser that should be able to compete in speed and performance of its  competition - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, et al.

Some new features are slated to include using a drawing tool to take notes on the Internet and a voice assistant, Cortana, which gets "smarter" the more you use it.

Also, because Windows 10 will have a universal app store, for those who use smartphones, tablets and PCs, you will have the option of not using a browser at all for a favorite site which has a dedicated app. Edge will show you which of your favorite sites has an app and will offer a download link.

The short video below shows some of the Edge features, and info about Hololens, basically a computer you wear on your face (read more here: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/en-us).

Stay tuned as news breaks...
