This states the "COLD, HARD FACTS OF BUSINESS LIFE". We have also found that Windows is able to meet our business needs much better than MS-DOS. Due to our changing business needs as well as all the technological changes in the business world, the Windows operating system allows us to keep pace with all the other businesses, both vendors and competitors. > > Yes, we use R:Base for DOS but after the first of the year we are implementing a very aggressive upgrade strategy to implement R:Base v7.0 For Windows. > > Another old adage says that in the business world there are two kinds of businesses, "THE QUICK AND THE DEAD!".
