Shocking News
Came across this story while doing research for an article on the computers on ISS: The new International Space Station is already suffering from computer problems similar to those experienced on Mir. ... Most of the problems appear to be related to Microsoft's Windows NT, while Russian-made software seems to be more reliable. Also found this interesting tidbit: The credit for the first "laptop" computer in space goes to a Mac Portable flown on STS-43 in 1991. (Although, reading on, it appears that wasn't entirely true.)
