I remember getting a mailing (don't know how I ended up on that mailing list) where they wanted to sell me a development kit for windoze, which at that time hadn't even been released yet, or if it had it was a very buggy and clunky preliminary version. They wanted me to pay something like $3000.00 for the privilege of developing software for their new platform. I found this most entertaining, and laughed like hell before I got around to tossing that mailing in the trash. -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
