It amazes me. I hear Win95 advocates going on about stuff that their 
new operating "system" (MS DOS7 & Win kludge 95) might be able to do -
and it's stuff that other platforms have been doing for years. This situation 
is like showing off a musket to a stone-age tribe. Even though it's obsolete 
and unreliable technology, the ignorant think it's incredible, mostly because 
they've never been exposed to it. This technology (multi-tasking OS's which 
Win95 will NEVER be,) is not rocket science and has been around
for years. M$ is now just moving into the mid-1980's. Wow. 

I'm real impressed.

When are they going to start offering object-oriented technology?
2010?
