Wowser Robert, talk about a background! Which makes me laugh at a recent
comment by a young man of 34 when I said something about technology in the
late 70s and early 80s. The comment: "They had technology back then?" This
story definitely proves that yes, grasshopper, they did!
Ouch, lol!

Hi Bjorn...I didn't follow Ventura that far into present time, although I
loved it when I learned it a Xerox. Once Corel took it over, I though I was
the only one who was both disappointed and disgusted with the poor job they
were doing!

I got a job with a company who used Ventura on the GEM environment. It
allowed me to shoot myself in the foot so easily. But, once I learned how
to apply the rules, etc., I was amazed. And this was on DOS-based machines
with a 8086 chip and only 640 kb of RAM.
But, yes, Corel did not do it justice
Oh wowser Mark...I forgot about the Gem environment! And I remember that
DOS-based machine...had one of them!

Corel's not the first company to have shot itself in the foot. Many of us
have first-have experience. Oooops, should that be "first-foot?"

Dang autocorrect. Should have been "first-hand" not "first-have."
Ok, I won't start your feet moving down that path. ;)
