I remember getting a mailing (don't know how I ended up on that mailing list)
where they wanted to sell me a development kit for windoze, which at that time
hadn't even been released yet, or if it had it was a very buggy and clunky
preliminary version.
They wanted me to pay something like $3000.00 for the privilege of developing
software for their new platform.
I found this most entertaining, and laughed like hell before I got around to
tossing that mailing in the trash.
At the time I got a similar msg was only a week or 2 after I'd been
called a pie-rat by somebody in the support line in Redmond. My laugh
was as evil as I could manage as I hit the delete key.
The audacity of that outfit and its owner knows no bounds.
Now he & A.F.wants to kill off 98% of us.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
