Hi Mike, Thanks. <<I wanted to see Remagen running but the guy said the people involved were gone and to come back later. He also commented that he would like to see it also. Hmm this seemed funny to me -- this is the biggest computer show of the year and you would think they would have enough people to staff the display.>> Trade shows always seem this way. Poor planning, poor communication....too bad. Good thing its only money! Portion of an article posted by bcoch last week: The Comdex booth space alone costs Corel more than $500,000 U.S. for the week and it has flown in top employees from its Ottawa and Orem, Utah, offices to staff a giant structure bearing the Corel logo, which is surrounded in soothing mauve pillars and matching carpet. ottawacitizen.com <<They had Corel's balloon floating around Vegas with WP8 on it. My friend commented that they needed a new paint job but it looked fine to me.>> Lead balloons must need lead paint! Regards, Kurt P.

Hi Mike, You might like this one. Regards, Kurt P. Creative Insecurity reasonmag.com The truth, however, is more complicated. Considered without regard to price, ubiquity, or compatibility with inexpensive hardware, many Microsoft products are mediocre at best. I am happily writing this article using an obsolete Macintosh operating system and WordPerfect, both of which I find superior to even the latest versions of Windows and Word. Great products did not make Microsoft number one. Good-enough products did.
