[Building Sakai] New Sakai Architecture

[Robert Long]

Might I suggest using FORTRAN and punch cards for easy code distribution via USPS...

I miss the days of "GOTO 10" statements!

The                     computer should figure out that is all that is available and make it work with whatever it has got. Of course, that is not i18n compatible so maybe we need a resource string instead?

For the occassional "multi-user" version you will need a server to which all the Hypercard stacks are sent, and then use Perl to process the data.

>>> * A DIY kit of 6502 microprocessors for speedy 8 bit processing. Each kit will include a series of 128 pre-programmed ROMs that can be connected in serial to provide the Sakai program. Don't worry, we will not need to write this in Assembly, we will use Cobol on a time share for the development.
