Wouldn't this be in direct contradiction to your previous statement,
in that it implies that the Democrats need to be *selective* about
which Republican policies they choose to oppose and which they
choose to support ? IMO most of them are pretty sincere in their
support of the education policy and the condemnation of the tax
plan (which isn't that surprising -- the education plan is somewhat
federalist)

All the links I got were to IBM's site, none of which mentioned anything

Back then, however, software companies HAD TO ENSURE THAT SOFTWARE RAN ON
IT, unlike today where you have the likes of Microsoft that creates a new
version requiring even MORE RAM and MORE HARD DISK SPACE, thus the user in
forced to upgrade, unlike then, when that type of action was seen as a
no-no. If that is progress, I would hate to know what isn't.

Not only that, but, If I wanted to put Linux on a server, I can slim it down
so that it only address's the issues I want addressed, unlike Windows which
is large, bloated and memory hogging, and whats worse you can't disable the
GUI or many of the other memory intensive aspects, so that it can run on low
end servers. The day Windows 2000 Pro becomes more UNIX like, in that it
becomes more modular, I would be a very happy lad, but until then, I would
not touch it with a fourty foot pole.

Please change your fake name. I like cats and I find your
usage of "meow" to be inappropriate and insulting to the
Feline species. Perhaps you could use this name, "Waster of
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and some trace elements"
for yourself. We could call you wohoncaste, a name that
everyone could agree on.
Please put more effort into your posts like our lovable
Flatfish++++. Potty talk does not cut it, Direct name calling
attacks only make the attacker look bad.
Could this be the return of ascii(53h). Or a reasonable
facsimile. ascii(53h) is not unique.

It's one thing to discuss how to prevent another holocaust ... it's
another to call someone a Nazi or compare his politics to Hitler's. This
was not a discussion of Nazism or the Holocaust, it was a discussion of
what people want to do with other people's information.

I don't recall where in this thread you were warning people about the
