   What is it with championing sending more money to obsolete OS's
such as MS-DOS and Bill Gates's pockets? How many businesses are using
their machines efficiently and to their full potential, and not
wasting power and such on overpowerful machines for the task, slowed
down by the inefficient software and hardware kludges? Why the f**k do
you care about our feelings and what we do? [Do you go to the Civil
War areas and flame people for championing old, obsolete weapons,
tactics, and ideologies? If not, please have fun with that.]

   Your date for the "infancy" (i.e. very start) of the personal
computer revolution is at lesat 7 years late; the Altair fanatics will
be having a word with you shortly. The IBM PC did not start the
personal computer revolution; it was a poorly executed, overpriced
design that has unfortunately prevailed without being replaced with
something that works _better_. 

   What we do is 100% our concern, not yours. Go away and mind your
own business.
