People forget that an OS is just a set of services that allow other applications to run. In that, and in spite of the releases of Windows XP, Vista, and 7, we still have not moved appreciably beyond the real functionality provided by Windows 2000. So, why rush? Let someone else suffer first. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
