Hey, all of M$ is annoying, but at least Micro$oft gives us a few
laughs in a perverse sort of way...

Why? When did you first become aware of having a masochistic tendency
to crave being abused by sadistic computer software? If only someone
had found those copies of PC-World magazines hidden under your
mattress in time to help you... ;-)

Which, like all of the other OS wannabees from M$, sucks when compared
to UNIX, VMS, AOS/VS, MVS, MPE-IV, Accent, POS, and even CP/M. M$-DOS
may have it's limited uses when it's windowing interface isn't
attached; however, thinking of that as a useful OS is hypothetically
able to induce usefulOSophobia in some people predisposed to various
disorders preventing them from differentiating useful operating
systems from computer viruses pretending to be useful operating
systems.

Please don't included me in that "we've," since I don't use those
viruses from Micro$oft.

Isn't M$ an insipid choice for anything, except for inspiring dark
humor? :-)
