That means you must be thinking about Microsoft all the time - even when you

Im sure only the American government could do that - MS is just to damn big
and earns an awfull lot of foreign currency.

Yes I totally agree with you there. Certainly DOS is awfull and Windows 3.1
is a joke.

Yes they do. I wouldn't dream of using any MS software at home. Too awkward
and it allways crashes. But at work I have to, simply because some of my
students use it. I might add that two students running Windows give as much
trouble as the other twelve using RiscOS.

See above. Some people are used to better but circumstance force them to use
the worst. You can't blame them for that.

No har feelings
