Very true. That's why we have the most well-stocked "corner hardware

This is a good point. OS/2 has many limitations that would prevent it from
competing in todays marketplace. that's not to say those limitations
couldn't have been fixed, they probably could have been, but IBM didn't seem
very concerned. For instance, the 512MB process boundary was pretty bad for
years. I believe they finally removed it in a recent version, but it was
too little too late.
IBM was too concerned with proprietary hooks into their mainframe systems.

Oh, I see what you're talking about, the fact that IBM used
off-the-shelf hardware and a BIOS that was easy to reverse engineer. To
me, the real kick was that in its contract with Gates for PC-DOS IBM
actually allowed him the privilege of licensing the DOS to everybody
else, which has to rate as one of computer history's dumbest moves.
With that Gates supplied all IBM's competitors, which put everybody,
down to the smallest Hong Kong junk in the harbor, on an equal footing,
and Gates in the catbird seat.

REPORTER: Senator, are you for or against the MX missile system?
SENATOR: Bob, the MX missile system reminds me of an old saying that
the country folk in my state like to say. It goes like this: "You can
carry a pig for six miles, but if you set it down it might run away."
I have no idea why the country folk say this. Maybe there's some kind
of chemical pollutant in their drinking water. That is why I pledge to
do all that I can to protect the environment of this great nation of
ours, and put prayer back in the schools, where it belongs. What we
need is jobs, not empty promises. I realize I'm risking my political
career be being so outspoken on a sensitive issue such as the MX, but
that's just the kind of straight-talking honest person I am, and I
can't help it.

On one hand:
Guns are bad....because Nazis and Communists use them to kill innocent
people
On the other hand:
Guns are good...because we use them to kill Nazis and Communists.
However...there is a THIRD possibility...namely that there is nothing
moral nor immoral about a gun...it's the ACTIONS OF THE PERSON using it.
Same for Linux and the Chinese.
Linux isn't immoral...it's the CHINESE GOVERNMENT that is.

Should Linux be outlawed in the US, it'll give Europe a fantastic

Just think, America tied to Microsoft's coat tails, Europe free to exploit
the best software around.

Regardless, between the manager and the mass of programmers are always
senior programmers and/or team leaders who should be dictating the
overall structure of the code (hierarchal or spaghetti), and also
seeing to it that the code generated conforms to the structure called
for.

Aaron R. Kulkis
Unix Systems Engineer
DNRC Minister of all I survey
ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
