Can you say "7.5.2"? Not that I'm an apologist for windoze, but we've
had our share of black eyes. The biggest one is that a product like
Windows is considered by the vast majority of lemmings to be superior to
Mac. I'm reminded of that every time one of my apps manages to bring
down my entire design box, and that dang NT has protected memory. Four
more months...
