Yup me too.


But I have found a good use for the Windows libs that come with my 
compiler (Watcom).  Haven't you ever wanted to write a program that is so 
utterly frusterating to use that no one in their right mind would even 
try it?  Cute little "quit" icons that don't do anything, open file 
routines that do GPF's 33 percent of the time, nifty loops that do 
nothing but make the drive churn on startup for a few extra seconds.  
There you have it.  Improve your resume and knowledge by learning Windows 
programming (just in case Bill suceeds in world domination) and express 
those nasty hateful programming desires all at once.  Just remember, 
subtlety is the key, you want the user to *think* everything is working 
normally...
