And I personally have no problems whatsoever with people talking about such things in [OT]. *BUT* I note that entirely reasonable and responsible posts such as WCW's can lead in only a few iterations to hate filled invective and flaming * extroadinaire. Why this should be so is beyond my comprehension as I have no great vested interest in the promotion on any family of operating systems. [I happen to very largely use ones which work well enough for me while pining for the freedom, vast spiritual experience, apple pie and mother hood promised by the other guys - but the effort is too hard and the compatability not good enough for my rut guided paths so I remain trapped where I am). SO by all means continue, but PLEASE let this be an intelligent and reasonable discourse and let it not turn into a 'my O/S is better than your O/S' session. Russell * flaming may not be an adjective in the context for that sentence to scan. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
