> Michaelangelo is better than Win95 because:
>   *  Installation is only one disk
>   *  You know exactly when it will wipe your hard drive
>   *  You don't have to remove it when you're finished using it
>   *  It uses less resources to run (it works on an 8088 with 64K RAM)
>   *  It won't slow down your network
>   *  It costs much less (free)
>   *  There is no such thing as a "half-dead" Michaelangelo system
>   *  Reformatting of your hard disk is done without user intervention
>   *  It will run with any version of DOS, even non-Micro$loth ones
>   *  It doesn't ask so many stupid questions
>   *  No wasted time with Solitaire, cute sounds or snappy bitmaps

Hey, I tried installing the Michaelangelo OS by compiling with
MASM 5.1, but couldn't figure out how to port the damn source 
code from TASM.  Michaelangelo could really catch on if better
support were available from the programmers.
