I agree with you, but I think this is not about writing a bad package; it's about the company policy of a giant. Windows 98 may be instable compared to Linux, but hey: have you ever tried to write *and* market your own OS? ;-) I don't like the giant's company policy; but I use Word and it is still the best text processing software for me. I keep having to duck for saying this; but actually, I look what my needs are and which software is best for me, regardless of the maker. I tried others but ended up with Word. I don't like OL/OE for reasons that I mentioned in this thread earlier (albeit in an ironical way), and I feel TB is a far superior MUA; I used to use Netscape but now am using IE, because I think it is better. I don't use Windows Explorer but Windows Commander, because WinCom is superior. So I think this is the point: to use which program is better for your needs, regardless of who wrote it. N.B. I would be suspicious of an email program distributed by the FBI, though... ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
