<Anyway, didn't you find it interesting how Fester's comments paralleled yours?> There is a synonym for that which they teach in some schools. Its called the TRUTH!

Dan, >>Meanwhile, I have this fond memory of running an OS that never crashed. Didn't have a world of hyperfunctional software that came with it though. There also wasn't a constant stream of PR guys saying how the next version would have about a thousand more features, and it'd be more reliable too. Oh, and that it would be taking over the world. Simpler times. Buy a MAC and you will find the memory still lives! Today and yesterday I ran into three people with PC problems: One cannot get their new CD-ROM to run under DOS despite a month of effort and phone-calls. One installed WindowsNT and now cannot use their modem because the vendor will not supply an NT driver for it (kiss a $200 modem goodbye). Makes me wonder just who has more incompatible OS system variants; MSFT or the UNIX crowd. The last one occurred today during a photo-shoot. I now believe that the integrity and uniformity of Windows displayed itself as intact. The photographer's "hot productivity" software locked up several times complaining of disk access due to a full disk when in fact the disk had lots of room. From the profanity used, my guess would be she was not one of the 52% mesmerized by the dancing paperclips. Its a lot less stressful now that PC problems fall under the category of "someone else's problem". There is nothing that I can do on a PC that I cannot do on a MAC, so why suffer. Own a MAC, invest in PC's. Norm
