err... these have only *one* space after the "begin". no, wait, one of them has two. hmm... > > > But what's the point?

Changing jobs is a good idea, > once the current dry spell on the job market passes. so everyone is just waiting for the market to change so they can change jobs to a non-windows environment? what would they switch to, i wonder? macintosh? now, if everyone would change to freebsd or linux... eek! meanwhile i am happy to be able to recognize windows people easily. it would be a lot harder if they all used linux and mutt and vim and... naah, not good. "am editor/mailer werdet ihr sie erkennen!" (if anyone wants to cite the biblical reference in English - go ahead!) anyway, what good is it to wait to change jobs? if all changed jobs then they's swap one place with windows with another place using windows. the change must be within the system itself. and i am not only talking about operating systems.. there needs be a change towards freedom of choice. <insert www.fsf.org here> then again, i'm not sure whether giving users a choice will make all of them happy. see my page http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/mutt/forwhom.php3 still - the bottom line is: if your boss is too dense to realize that he is using broken software then he should pay you twice as much to use it, too! Sven [twice as much *at least*]
