Maybe "subscribing down"? In the old days, hardware servers became obsolete in 2 or 3 years, so a new one was needed to support new applications, devices, workloads. Software had to be upgraded/rewritten to accommodate the new hardware. Nowadays, not so much. So, since I can't sell you a new version of my software every year or so, I will sign you up to "rent" it (subscribe). Hardware folks looked at that and the cloud was born? New businesses looked at it as a way to avoid IT departments and server rooms. Older clients with the server rooms poohed it until time to replace expensive hardware. Like any other advancement, some old jobs go away, some new ones show up. Relax, be assimilated.

You do the same type of dealing, except it's with virtual machines. You specify capacity requirements, and a VM is generated to your spec. And as in real-life, it's either over or under-specified, and you pay accordingly. It's just all happens faster.

Beautifully retro. It reminds me of George Carlin talking about how you'd curse someone who had a lot of 9's or 0's in their phone number.

Presumably "ABC" maps to 1, "DEF" to 2, etc...?
If so, I wanna see how quickly people can text with that thing. Or even just write down a URL.
This might get people to be more selective about that they think is really important, and bring some sanity back.

If I remember correctly from my old Nokia 6310i, ABC started at the 2. Could've been different on the rotaries though. We never had letter on them in Sweden.

Looking at an actual landline phone, yeah, you're right...there's no letter assigned to 1 (or 0). But my point remains the same.

Oh yes!

Hey man, guilty as charged. I've been known to take conversations in completely different directions based on some unimportant thing I pick up and disagree with.

I know it's not a typical timing for it, but this one just popped into my head and I didn't want to forget it.

I liked it. Bravo and well done.

@OriginalGriff
Which one of you would care to explain this in plain English to enlighten those who are puzzled?
|

Failed to uphold = dropped
A bell = a clanger
|
|
|
|
|
And "Dropped a clanger" means that you have done or said something stupid.

If any of you have this O365 version in the computer...
What does it say at the about?
Mine still says "Product of the subscription Microsoft Office 365 Business" without premium.
I did an upgrade from Business to Business Premium, now I can use Teams... but it still shows the same it said before doing the upgrade.
Is that normal?
Thank you all.
