 Well not wanting to get into a flame war with you Dave or anyone in
 paticular, but do you not think this in itself is a defeatist attitude?
 
 I personally do not mind if you will or will not write software for me
 as a user, as I have all the software I need and it consists of only
 a few packages these days.
 
 You see I became thanks to my Atari a multi platform user.  I have
 various things I do on each but they all relate to telecommunications.
 This site started as a MBBS system and out grew it in a few short years
 and now is a mixture of machines and os's.
 
 The point I was raising was why do we in this news group always go 
 throught this "Convience me to stay with Atari" every few months.
 If you care to read the posts I refered to you would see that his
 mind is made up already. So frankly Dave why should we bother to
 waste the bandwith answering him?
