RS>I think (and others have said it as well) that a dirt-simple (well,
ok, maybe to this level is impossible) waffle-installer-thingie would
help the users who _can_ install a QWK reader, and would _like_ to have
full Usenet non-munging capabilities, but don't feel like installing
waffle.

RS>and yes, this in itself would only help the ms-dog users.  and only
those who have the noggin-filler.  but, we should be able to get the
AMOUNT of noggin-filler required lower and lower... but not too low. :-)

Do you Unix-folk have to resort to using terms like ms-dog, messy-dos,
and attacking DOS at every occassion (even if it doesn't pertain to the
topics you are replying to?)

For those of you who have *nix running on *86 family of computers, why
not respect the forces that brought you those inexpensive computing
machines to your homes?  Of course you would have much prefered to have
expensive VAX, HP, Sun, Microvax, etc... *nix systems, RIGHT?!

I am often surprised to to hear *unix people respect and uphold the
virtues of Vi even though it is over 25years old and outdated compared
to modern editors for *nix.   Why not atleast acknowledge that DOS does
a good job for a significant portion of the PC user market.
