Uh, PPT.

Sure, it's "tough love", but it's still love.

I've never read Tom say anything about Windows that wasn't true
underneath the unpleasant coating.

I for one am getting really tired of these anti-AS rants, for which
I've never seen one bit of evidence that they're motivated by anything
other than a vicious competitive streak.

I don't want David to go away; he's a smart guy with a strong desire
to see Perl succeed.  But at some point (hopefully soon) he'll realize
that maybe it's *his* concept of reality that's out of whack.
