On a similar note, I read a message a while back (I forget from whom) about a text editor for the PC that ran "considerably faster" than Tempus. This may be true, but only because the hardware was upgraded at a considerable expense. When will people realize the scam that Microsoft is pulling? Remember the 286? Remember that it only need 1 meg and a 20 meg hard drive? Did it do everything you needed it to do? Pretty much. So why do you now need a minimum 4 megs, windows, and a large hard disk just to have a system that will run the standard software? Microsoft is why. Why don't they build better software and quit relying on faster hardware? Money. Your money. -- Gregory Sumner * gregs@eskimo.com Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, Inc. Seattle, Wa.
