Please no rants - there are plenty of soapboxes that are very much
more visble to the world at large than is this mailing list.
This is no rant, but anyone who knows anything about OOXML would never
suggest such a thing. From a technical perspective, it's an absolute
disaster, the sole purpose of which, is to further MS lockin.
Same goes for USB v Firewire. Can you buy a 500G WD Firewire hard
disk at the Post Office for $AU179 -- no. Can you buy a 500G WD USB
hard disk at the Post Office for $AU179 -- yes.
Can someone help me understand this comment? What is the significance of
one, and not the other, being available at the Post Office? There's
obviously something here that I do not know, but probably ought to, so be
kind to me <vbg>.
