Osborne Effect from Invention (Aquisition) to Grave
I just watched the "Retro Radio Gadgets" display in United Kingdom where only old guys like me visited it with enthusiasm. It is currently available on YouTube. Then, I watched another YouTube presentation where another clever guy listed 53 Gadgets that failed after millions of investment where the Idea was great but the execution was bad.
The First portable computer 1 developed by Osborne Computer Corporation was cannibalized by its intended next version.
Osborne Effect is when a viable product that sells well announces it's next innovative product ahead of it's time and the product that sells well plummets and the company go bust and the new innovation never see the daylight.
This is why Apple never announces it next product.
I could not afford many of the gadgets which was a blessing in disguise.
Then, of course I found Linux (Redhat) by accident and never looked back on Windows. Linux has ton of Software including Blender FREE.
It saved me a lot as a family man.
Android Cellphone killed most of the products since it is not the gadget but the software that rules the world.
Rival company buys the product outright and kills it in it's infancy.
Microsoft is known for that ploy.
In my memory ZIP disk was one of many.
I did not use ZIP disk for Audio but for Microsoft Software.
I would list a few of those companies here.
1. Atari Games
I was caught up without game cartridges
2. IBM
Killed it's own product to keep the business model floating and ultimately sold its LOGO to China.
I had a Network of 15 IBM computers running various Linux Distribution during 32 bit era. They were damn cheap and I could buy them in bulk at Alpha Digital in Kandy. Only one had a paid copy of Windows without any software.
3. Texas Instruments
4. Apple in its early days before Steve Job took over its administration.
5. Sony Cameras
I have a Fuji digital camera now.
6. Sinclair Time's edition
7. Microsoft Windows 95
8. Commodore Computers
I was caught up with Commodore 64 without a power pack which busted in no time in Ceylon due to poor Voltage in domestic suppy line. I was without a replacement power unit.
9. Sony Betamax
I stuck with JVC
10. Toshiba
11. Nokia
Without knowing Nokia going bust, I bought 10 of Nokia varying from Android 5 to 13. I have one Nokia with me and rest is in Ceylon or dished out.
By the way, my first cellphone was JAVA based and wad damn cheap.
12. RadioShack
More than 25 Gadgets to it's credit.
1. Portable Radio
2. Digital Clock Radio
3. Realistic Nova Headphones
4. Realistic Sterio Speakers in metal casing.
I bought a pair for £50/= in London Totanham Court Road. It worked nearly 30 years in Ceylon
5. Amplifier
6. Multimeter
7. Equilzer
8. CB Radio Transceiver Free Communication
9. Scanner Radio Police and Emergency workers used
10. Weather Radio
11. Duoform Answering Machine
It had two cassettes.
Cassettes were a craze for me. I wanted to digitalize all my collection of cassettes.
Copyright guys stopped the manufacturing of these units that digitalize the cassettes that had my children childhood voices.
I had a portable answering machine in UK hospital in my pocket in 1980s. It
12. Hand Free Speaker Phone
Bought one from Ceylon SLT just before I left. Not a RadioShack unit.
13. TRS 80 Model 100 first computer in 1983. First Portable computer.
14. Free Batteries
15. TRS 80 Pocket Computer 13 in 1982 but bulky.
I have a Sharp Model but it has very poor memory. Could not store my address list.
16. Science Fair 150 Electronic Kit.
I left UK in 1988. This the only RadioShack unit I own.
I still have one and it works well after 40 years
17. Microcomputer Trainer kit.
Binary coding with machine language.
I tried it with Commodore 64 in 1985 but the power pack busted in no time due to low Voltage in Ceylon.
I nevet saw it but many years later I built by own computer. This is something a working doctor misses in his working life.
I was a physics guy who choose medicine fearing that I miss friends if I did physics in my adult life. That is what happened to professor of physics at Peradeniya University, Osmund Wickrama Jayarathna who did work on lightening.
18. Realistic Radio Receiver
Shortwave signals of the entire world but one need a big antenna
19. Cassette Deck
20. Record Player
21. Tandy Video Terminal
Text only message
Early Embryo of the WWW INTERNET.
22. First Cellular Phone in America
It was heavy and called the Brick.
23. Amatron
The Robotic Arm
Now the surgeons use Robotic Arm in micro surgery.
24. TRS 80 COCO
Colour Computer
I would not stop at 10 but my advice is for you to watch the two YouTube presentations.

Linus Torvalds Facts
Reproduction
Linus Torvalds Facts
Those guys changed the face of technology forever.
You already know about the asteroid 9793 Torvalds, named after him.
But what else?
Let’s see:
- Linus Torvalds was born on December 28, 1969, in Helsinki, Finland, and is now 55 years old.
- He wrote 100% of the first version of Linux, which represents around 1% of the present-day code.
- He almost named his project “FreaX” instead of “Linux”… So now, instead of a combination of the words “free,” “freak,” and “Unix,” we are enjoying a combination of the Trovald’s given name and “Unix.”
- In 1999, MIT proclaimed him one of the top innovators under 35.
- In 2001, Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job at Apple, but he refused.
- In 2019, his net worth is estimated at around $150 million, with an annual salary of $10 million.
- He has a soft spot for scuba surfing. He is the creator of a platform called Scubaserfice that can create a scuba diving planner for you.
- Linus Torvalds created the version control system Git in 2005.
- Among other things, he has undergone military training and is a Second Lieutenant.
- He is awesome!

Ganegama Dhamma Visuddhi Thera - ගනේගම ධම්ම විසුද්ධි තෙර
Ganegama Dhamma Visuddhi Thera
ගනේගම ධම්ම විසුද්ධි තෙර
මේම ස්ථිවරයනවහන්සේ විසින් කළ උන් වහන්සේගේම, පසු පුනුරුත්පත්ති විමර්ශ්නයකට අනුව උන් වහන්සේට අවුරුදු 30,000ක හෙළ ඉතිහාසය පසු විපරම් කළ හැකි විය. එනම්, රාවනා යුගය දක්වා දිවෙන හෙළ ඉතිහාසයේ උන් වහන්සේගේ පෞගලික අත් දැකීම් එලි දැක්වීමය.
අවුරුදු 30,000 පෙර උන්වහන්සේ අපායේ දුක් විදිමින් සිට අතර බුදුවරයන් 5 දෙනෙකු දුටුවද ධර්මය අසනු වෙනුවට, ඔහු සුර / අසුර යුද්ධ වල ගැටි සිටි කෙනෙකි.
අන්තිම භවයේ, භාවනා යෝගීව සිටි උන් වහන්සේ අවුරුදු 3 සිට මහන වීමට, කැමත්ත පල කර සිටි නිසා, සුදුසු කළ මහන වියට පත්ව, කමටහන් වඩමින් අරණ්යවාසව සිටින ස්ථවීරයන් වහන්සේ නමකි.
මේ භවයේ භාවනා යෝගී උන් වහන්සේ, අනකුත් භාවනා යෝගීන්ට, කමටහන් උපදෙස් දීමට හැකි උත්තමයෙකි.
මෙලෙස, අවබෝදකර ගත් කරුණු අනුව, උන්වහන් සේ, වර්ෂ 2005 සිට, ඉන්දියානු දමිළයන් විසින් විකුර්ති කළ හෙළ ඉතිහාසය නැවත ප්රකුර්ති තත්වයට පත් කිරීමට දුන්, නොමිල සහයෝගය අප අගය කළ යුතුයි.
පසුව එංගලන්තයේ සුද්ධන් විසින් සැගවූ සහ විකෘර්ති කල ඉතිහාසය නැවත නියමිත අන්දමට පෙළ ගැසීමට, ජයරත්න පතිරආරච්චිද සෙල්ලිපි වලට අනුව, අවුරුදු 50ක පමණ දැඩි උත්සාහයක් දරා ඇති නමුත්, ඉංගිරිසි ඉතිහාස පොත් වලින් නොමග ගිය ඇතැම් බෞද්ධ භික්ෂුන් වහන්සේලා එයට අවහිරයක් වී ඇත.
