        At the risk of getting incinerated, I would like to put in my two bits on
the great MS debate.
        You fellows tend to resemble a lot of Grand Prix drivers running down
Fords and Chevvies. What it comes right down to is that there are a whole
bunch of people who are doing useful things with computers who would not be
if they had to depend on the equipment and software that was available
before PC's, Mac's, MS-Dos and Windows.
        I saw the same thing with the introduction of self threading 16mm
projectors about twenty five years ago. The National Film Board of Canada
banned them because they chewed up film, but they made it possible for
thousands of teachers to use film in their classes.
        Someday possibly we can run our modern computers with an operating system
that comes on one single sided floppy, but until then lets appreciate what
we have.

                                                        Cheers
