************OT OT (sorry CSCO folks) OT OT************** Gary: I don't think that I have ever disagreed with you, but since this discussion is OT, I will go ahead and do it. I watched a portion of the trials when BG testified and all. I really liked the idea of Mr. McNealy from SUNW. He advocates that we should have different OS's that all meet certain criteria (i.e. would run the same programs) competing against each other. Personally, I like the idea of choosing between different GUI OS's. Right now, I can choose from Win95 (or 98, in June), NT, or Linux X-Win. Just look at Linux. That is a good example of what should be going on. We have multiple vendors to choose from, different GUI's to choose from, but essentially they all run the same programs. What is the effect of that? All of them are stable enough to run web servers that stay up w/o rebooting for weeks! What is the effect of Microsoft's monopoly? I have an OS that requires reboot (whether I like it or not) once a day. Or I could fork out a couple hundred and get an OS that is a little more stable, NT. I hope the Linux community world-wide comes up with an OS that will reliably run Windows apps so that I can switch over to use their GUI full time. Your response and comments are welcome. Sorry to digress so far off the topic :o) JRH
