 G'day Todd,

 In a message dated 25 Oct 03 you wrote to Craig Hutchison:

 CH>>>> But they're not ALL Wintel machines. AFAIK Benny doesn't even have

 TS>>> So?  Who needs a scorecard, or cares about the Yankees?

 CH>> There's a big difference. One takes a modicum of intelligence to use.
 CH>> The other has an OS by Microsoft.

 TS> You're skating on thin ice with that remark, Craig.

 TS> No more platform bashing.  That includes the OS.  Nobody can help what's

 TS> Also, the implication that persons who use those OSs are idiots is just

 TS> No system is perfect.

Can I hunbly suggest that you take a chill pill Todd.

My remark was actually aimed at the 'net kiddies who wouldn't know real
computing if they were hit 'round the head with it, and that even though it
might be x86 hardware one doesn't *have* *to* run Windows on it.

 Cache Ya,
 Craig.

... The worst thing about Windows bashing is that it's all true.
