too bad moron.The Nazi were right wingers and advocated the same

large portions of government, outlaw unions, eliminate welfare and

gee another fucking idiot. Guess who supported him finacically during
the 20s? It was the rich industralists. Hitler came to power by making
secret deals with them. How was it that Hitler was released from
prision after the failed Beer hall Putsch when others that had only
revealed to the press snipets of information that proved Germany was
rearming. They rotted in prision. And yes they were charged with
treason in the early 20s.
Face it boob the only way Hitler gained such a release was someone or
many someones pulled strings for him to get out. And that means only
one thing the German elite.

I've coded with VC++6.0 and also have the MASM6.11. The code generated
works ok... its the O/S that isn't ok... meaning the Win9x series...
can't say a thing about NT.
But I do notice a huge performance increase using MASM. These tight
programs snap-up very fast compared to the C++ versions and run a lot
faster. I think that MS should pay more attention to cleaning up their
development tools.

Well, I may or may not bother to read these things. But I assume that
people send Word documents mostly because they're clueless f#@%wits
(sorry, but the shallow end of the gene pool is hard to discuss without
resort to vulgar language, they're so darn _irritating_ for always getting
in the way!) that can't be bothered to do anything more than the least
possible effort to drag&drop an attachment (rather than e.g. using plain
ASCII/Unicode if rich text isn't actually necessary, or HTML or PDF if it
is). Of course, MS software, notorious for encouraging the clueless to
send their proprietary garbage where it doesn't belong, probably
encourages such behavior by specifically making it easier to do the
_wrong_ thing than the right one.
HTML is more excusable, _except_ that I'll only read HTML mail when
disconnected (like with my modem turned off), because I don't appreciate
the sort of attempts to track the reading thereof (and other obnoxious
or intrusive behavior) that can be embedded in it. And if it's not
from someone I know or have done business with, I probably won't go
to the extra bother.

Now that you mention Radio Shack, I notice they sell Compaqs while the
store uses IBM for doing business.
