No, I didn't know that about "Borras" meaning "erase" in Spanish. :)
However, in another geeky forum far away from here, there was (maybe still
is) a strange coder I knew who's obsessed with Windows NT, whose first name
is Anthony. He had some very peculiar ideas about life in general -- and he
had a stubbornly evasive and negative outlook on life... kind of "loopy".
The last time I wrote to him using IE 4.0, he answered politely -- but when
I then responded with Net-Tamer -- total silence. Probably zapped by a
fire wall that incinerates noncompliant browsers.
So he had the nickname, "Anthony.exe". A real buggy fellow. This
miserable wretch is shackled in a non-disclosure dungeon for a software
company in Paris. As elusive as this other Anthony is, I wouldn't be
surprised if "J. Anthony Borras" is a pseudonym for "Anthony.exe" (I feel
sorry for the guy, so I won't mention his full name; even if he was J.
Anthony Borras, he probably wouldn't talk about "Borras" or offer any help
for anything other than a Microsoft product). He's terribly paranoid.
Anyway, these two Anthonys may very likely be living under similar
conditions. Isolated, quirky brains.
Too bad. VMiX 386 would have been a wonderful addition -- especially its
author -- to the SurvPC chest of treasures.
