Hi dear Kiran (Didi or bhaiya?)

72 char limit was set on my pc since the solar system came into
existance. any idea why text was not getting wrapped. was html the
culprit? should i switch to fixed width font? it looks ugly.

hmmm, oh, is that so, ah, now i understand, ahaa, i will take care in
future.
other flamers should see how very effective Kiran's this method of
getting the point across is. Instead of howling war cries, learn, baby
flamers! learn.

i reserve my comments on this for the time being. summarily, i don't
agree.
(btw, in above, not "it's", but "its", and someone was telling me my
spelling sucs) :-)
> And if you like OE so much, why are you using Netscape?
because i hate billoo.
i hate him for all the decisions windows is making on behalf of the
user. not giving user any option to select the outcome, not informing
him what all it has done, where all it has kept things, not giving user
option to change these things. What was the need of putting old choices
of "FIND" command in registry file. i still don't know where it is
storing the old opened filename in word, excel, fpage. his extensions of
desktop are good (single click, web like display, start menu edit) but
you can't install it without installing IE. that is what i was forced to
do, even though i was perfectly happy with NS. now i have hidden ie in a
deepshit directory, without any icon, shortcut, link anywhere else, so
it just can't be located by james bonds. but i dare not delete IE,
otherwise even the windows explorer and several other things will stop
working.
last week in my office (all MS) i wanted to make some 7QC TOOLS graphs.
I could make them in a Jiffy in Excel2000. but then i needed to add LCL,
UCL (control limits lower/ upper) and it took me hours to add, fine tune
them on the graphs. then i came across a case when LCL and UCL had got
changed in between the set of data. I just can't do it after hours, and
ended up putting two ugly unconnected lines for them each. As long as
you are doing what Billoo thought you needed to do, you can do in a
moment. but a single deviation, a you need to go to linux to get that
done.
once i have such nasty feeling about billu's integrity, plus point of
any of his product remains only a matter of academic interest.
and that is apart from all the hardware improvements occurred in last 20
years have got gobbled up by windows without giving any breakthrough
advantage in software. and the division in billoo's family: NTFS does's
read fat32, fat32 does not read ntfs, fat16 does not read fat32. there
is one Hpfs also. linux can read from fat16/32, ntfs. billo will read
from linux only on his dead body. billoo is a confused animal.
like you, i will also not be using OE on linux, if Billoo releases it.
It is a different matter if Phil releases it.
if this mail did not get wrapped, you must be feeling like sending me to
alcatraz, but puleeez tell me, what do i do?
