Well said. I also applaud Microsoft for doing that - way back when. You have to admit - many of us might not have desktops now if MS didn't forge the market with MS-DOS. Is that good or bad? IMO - it is both. 1: Yeah, there are the better among the whole - as always. 2: It's getting "too easy" ... I encounter fools on a daily basis. It gets worse by the minute. ( comment on 2: No, I'm not "throwing around my weight" - I'm stating things as I see them. People don't take the time to learn anymore. It's sad. ) I see it all the time - they get these "ready out of the box" systems - that cater to their every need. And, they expect the world to cater ... ah, I had best 'exit;' this while it's short! ( laughs )
