Ahh something I know about... YIPPIE!! MS Excel came out on the Macintosh
platform BEFORE any other platform... and it came out aleast sometime
around the MacPlus which would be around 87-89 range since it was one of
the reasons my dad BAUGHT a mac in the first place :)

Note:SGI doesn't have a monopoly and they charge far more then this for
thier upgrades (or atleast did back in the mid 90s)

Correction: IE is available for MS95,NT,MacOS, solaris, and HP/UX
ok.. now for my one remark... regarding "TIE in"...
at what point is something considered to be an illegal "tie in"...
if a company makes it's own motors for it's cars? or is it when it's a
nifty feature like a bugshield?
ok... going to read (unless I see something else that realy irks me before
I go :) )
