I don't mean to send a "me too!" post, but I am, just so people don't
think I was being serious, or that I am a *complete* idiot. I
whole-heartedly agree with all of Kenita's points. No, I don't *want*
anyone to die. I also agree that competition would sharpen up Microsoft's
products... although I won't for a second say that I like their products
now ( my last job programming with Microsoft compilers was a painful one
at best ) I'll try to keep my silly posts to a minimum ! (except for this
one, of course ;)
geoff.
