Quothe John Allain, from writings of Thu, Feb 07, 2002 at 02:39:14PM -0500: Sorry to hear about that happening, but good for you for leaving! :-) Yes, unfortunately. Many others will, no doubt, be preparing to leave the computer field as a result. How many times have you needed to upgrade to a larger hard drive in order to keep adding onto that file? ;-) Excellent idea! :-) While you're at it, you might also want to include the fact that Micro$oft was peddling what some might call "soft-porn," distributed with MS-Windoze 95. There's a gif (or was it a .jpg file?) of a cartoon-character, of Bat Girl if I recall correctly, who was bare chested and appeared to be weilding a whip. I found this file in one of the directories on a system at work a few years ago, after a fresh OS install onto a new hard drive. While I didn't find this at all offensive (they could have at least made it an animated gif!), some politicians, like Ashcroft, who's embarrased by nude classical artwork (statues), might take great offense... surely that wouldn't go in Micro$oft's favor with the present U.S. presidential administration. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R.
