Well I'll be darned. Kiwi Black Parade Gloss is used by the US Army.

(and I thought it was a purely ANZAC tradition)
.....and I hate windoze too, the only thing I've seen good in it in recent
times is the internet connection
sharing, which seems to work very well with anything that speaks
ethernet/TCP/IP, including Vaxen, old macs etc.
I thought Micro$oft had actually done something noteworthy til I found out
it was someone else's product, that they simply bought outright and
integrated into Win98SE. Shoulda known......
