This may be an unfortunate mismatch of English idioms. "Out there", to me, means "current, available/on sale/in use now, in active use and/or maintenance". That notwithstanding, I have to say, I still think it's ludicrous to imply that anything _before_ Win95 could have drawn upon it, even if making a negative statement. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: [email protected] Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
