> -- I'm not really a Microsoft enemy however I find it a sad trend that the better
software does not 'make it' in the market because of a larger company's ability
to bully people with their money. So, although I like Netscape better than
Explorer, it is inevitable that I'll be forced to switch because Netscape doesn't
have the power to compete with Microsoft's ability to give the sofware away
free. Other OSs and Applications may be available however with poor product support.
The bottom line is that I've got to get my work done and the only reasonable way to
do it (and still stay compatable with the people that I do business with) is to use
Microsoft products. I would just like some REAL and VIABLE choices. 
 It's also kind of a dream of mine that someday a large majority of the software
buying market will decide that they're tired of software with flagrantly ignored
bugs and poor code, and that an 'upgrage' might not mean 'better'.
