What a lame, ignorant post, from someone who defends a certain other
software company whose dismal record on ship dates is overshadowed only by
horror stories of ~43 yr old "lost" letters from the postal service.  IBM
has "delievered" quite a bit of the technologies that are the computer you
are running, and let's see,, Microsoft made a mouse and BOB and a some
other stuff that  I have even a lower opinion of.  Yeah, I guess Microsoft
delievered on Windows 95 and active X and IE,, but I got to say, I'll take
"dead" IBM technology ANY day over what MS dellievered. Can you say
CAIRO=1994??  Wouldn't happen to have a harddrive with PMRL technology
would you?
