Yeah, Get a life!!
You TOO can spend 17 hours a day, having fun trying to get a piece of
crap to work every time you want to play a game or get a scanner to
work.
You TOO can can have hours of fun taking the credit for other peoples
work,
      i.e. Windoze (taken from Apple)
      32 bit and multitasking (taken from amiga)
And still feel like a complete prat when your NEW windoze'98,
revealed to all the world at a MAJOR press conferance

CRASHES & CRASHES &CRASHES & ........... well you get the point.

No I'm not just being biased. I'm an electronic engineer with quals in
maintenance and programming.
I'm sick to death of Plug'n Play products that don't and of Fatal
Errors that occur randomly.

so go on, get a life, you may not have time to do anything else, but
you'll have hours of fun trying to find that missing *.dil file that
keeps disappearing when all you've done is switch the damn thing on!

BTW you don't see anyone giving away Mac's do you?
If it's so easy and cheap to upgrade then why are these companys
GIVING away PC's and spending thousands on replacing them??

Any comments?????
Let me know
