Sure, I don't argue new thinking is a great way to do new things. Take the

Hi Guys,
Although Word looks better in it's new release ( I did follow
the link Richard G. provided ), it's so big I think they should split
the program up, providing simpler control input (intelligence).

Hi Tom,
Nope, I haven't, but I'll ask Chris about it, and hopefully let you know

Let me get this straight. You're telling me the most noteworthy CEO

for those done for the Democratic Party. Right.

I tried to open google docs in my REV browser and it said I needed to
use a more up to date browser. BUT it will open in Safari. I think it
is a catch all error though since on the web in safari it needs to or
wants to open a new window.

No kidding. The simple fact is, it's an inferior product at this time. WinXP
takes less memory, and generally work much faster.
One of the issues as I see it is MS took what...5 years to release this,
compared to Apple's regular release around every 2 years? Compound it with
the contradiction Appl

We've deployed exactly one vista box. Since that time I've bought
several more XP boxes just to avoid vista. I still have a vista box
we purchased sitting in its box. It's probably going to stay there
for the foreseeable future.

Jim, I love it. Of course, I love all sorts of conspiracy theories -
even the really stupid ones. After the kinds of things Gates pulled,
initially, he would have deserved such treatment. (smile) Besides, The
Pirates of Silicon Valley needs a sequel.

I've told everyone in my company not to upgrade - if we get a new Vista
machine, leave it. But otherwise, don't upgrade. Way, way too
Sadly disturbing. Makes one wonder who's making the decisions over in
