4 Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES : Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition October 9-15, 2011 NO HOLDS BARRED By M. A. SADANAND Half the trouble generated for the 10 to 5 time-filler for the welfare of the inscrutable owner of the globe, variously labelled as God, Bhagavan, Allah et al, is preventable if God, once every ten hours or more, wakes up from his Kumbhakarna siestas. The shouting supplicators for the hidden inexhaustible riches must have taken the matrimonial oath Yes, we will, when the good old God and Wife made the couple sign on the dotted line which, in the course of a few days, being written in self-deleting ink, got deleted. The honeymooning couple were advised by crooked lawyers that, since the Schedule did not contain the items and actually there is no evidence of the acceptance of the liability to protect a good man like M. A. Sadanand who had tumbled into the snakepit of the legal profession, God, his Wife and the army of legal manipulators were not bound by the manifestation of the Royal couple s rantings, which if any, got self-deleted thanks to a pot of vanishing ink. The creators of the new profession of deceit through centuries of promoting, faking and legal wild goose chasing, after millions of ignoramus make law in law factories, throve all over the world and called themselves Learned, the coping stone in the build up. There were great men - not merely brainy or vocabulary wise, but inherently honest. All good things, bad things and forgettable things, people and incidents must end. Democracy has blessed many a forgettable fellows who, without political benediction, would have, at best, risen to the position of a lawyer s clerk. God got chest pain laughing non-stop for hours because one chap stuck like a leach to a politician and was suffered to be one of the bunch of Government Pleaders when I was the chief G.P. After I was guillotined one fine night, he jumped up. Then, after many ropes were shredded, this great jurist was upped as a judge. I had a small Civil Revision Petition before him that could have been disposed of in 5 minutes but, after 15 adjournments, not at my instance, I asked him to verify a date from his papers as my print was smudged. He said, Don t put to me questions. It took me 40 years to learn that lesson. After another adjournment, the case came up before Justice Prabha Sridevan and it was allowed in 5 minutes. Justicing is like the I.P.L or the Wimbledon or a Test without Harper. Calling volunteers for free service in Tirumala Sevas (Plot No. 103, 10th Main Road, Vijaya Nagar, Velachery) is sending volunteers for week-long service to pilgrims in Tirumala starting on Mondays and ending on Sundays.

8 Page 8 MAMBALAM TIMES: Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition October 9-15, 2011 Steve Jobs who made Mambalam Times possible! If those of you who have never possessed an Apple computer or an ipod or an iphone or an ipad were bewildered by the countless newspaper columns of encomia paid to Steve Jobs after his demise on Wednesday and thought that he had played no role in your lives, you are wrong! But for Steve Job s early invention Apple Macintosh, this newspaper Mambalam Times which you have been reading regularly for over 16 years, would not even have been born! Till the advent of Apple Macintosh in together with the now-ubiquitous mouse, Apple LaserWriter and the software packages Mac-write and Aldus PageMaker - anyone who wished to publish a newspaper had to necessarily own a printing press with a manual composing room. The investment in such an elaborate infrastructure would have been totally non-viable for a weekly tabloid newspaper of 8 to 16 pages and there would, therefore, have been no Mambalam Times! It was Apple Macintosh that proved to be the game changer! In it one could compose news stories, edit them, give them headlines, incorporate photographs and place them on a page exactly like they would look on the final printed copy. A print-out of the page could then be taken from the Apple LaserWriter, which used the technology then Steve Jobs in 1987 known as WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get! This printed page could later be sent to a printing press, however far it may be, for the replication of thousands of copies of the newspaper for subsequent distribution. The IBM PC, the alternative desktop computer of those days, did not have any of these capabilities. It had no facility for page make-up, and the output could only be from a dotmatrix printer which was unfit for further processing for the production of a printed newspaper. Giving directions to the IBM By K. S. Ramakrishnan Apple Macintosh SE (1987) Steve Jobs in 2010 (afflicted with cancer) PC, using what was known as Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS DOS), was quite a nightmare. For example, to copy a file from the hard drive to a floppy drive, one had to type each letter of the elaborate command copy c:\docs\ myfolder\filename a:\. For renaming a file, the command was ren c:\docs\myfolder\ filename.old filename.new, and for deleting a file, it was del c:\docs\myfolder\ filename. The mouse that came with Apple Macintosh converted these tasks into child s play. Each file you created would be represented by a picture 150 attend eye camp in Dr. Duraiswami Hospital (which Steve Jobs called icon ) on the computer screen and, to delete it, you had only to point the mouse s arrow on that icon and drag it to another icon representing the trash box. To copy a file from a hard drive to a floppy drive, you had to merely drag that file s icon from the hard drive icon to the floppy drive icon. This process, which is incorporated in all computer software today, was revolutionary in 1986, and it was Steve Jobs who introduced that user-friendly step and named it as graphic interface. I was one of the earliest users of Apple Macintosh in India, having bought one almost as soon as it was launched in USA. Its specifications were quite rudimentary (Monochrome, with only 1MB RAM and 20MB hard disc) with a price that was quite prohibitive at 2900 US dollars! The LaserWriter cost another whopping $3200. But I needed the system for American Education Aids, the educational institution I was running then. Steve Job s guiding principle in life was To think differently and I too adopted it while deciding to experiment with the publication of a neighbourhood newspaper using the infrastructure created by him. And the rest is history! So, let me also, on behalf of the readers of this newspaper, add my humble salute to that genius Steve Jobs!
