Quothe M H Stein, from writings of Wed, Apr 24, 2002 at 10:53:29PM -0400: If the label fits, why not use it? ;-) Yes, but inefficiently. Oh really? I've worked with, and for, many narrow-minded biz'droids who only knew about Micro$oft rubbish and would not hear of anyone using anything else, or, if they did have to use UNIX for anything, they'd use those annoyances from SCO (e.g., OpenServer) and didn't appear able to comprehend that other flavors of UNIX were more reliable and less troublesome. One of them told me that there was no difference between BSD and Linux, and he firmly believed that BSD was based on Linux! Another one insisted that I switch to M$-Word from LaTeX, since M$-Word was a "standard;" he claimed that no one else would be able to update the documentation written in LaTeX if I left, which, he believed, would leave them with a lot of useless data. It seems that the logic used by Micro$oft pushers/dealers is: "Micro$oft is the standard, therefore it should be used." On those grounds, they refuse to listen to any reasons as to why anything else is, or might be, useful - since "it's not the standard" (or so they think). What's wrong with that? Why be slaves to the Micro$oft virusware? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I believe that you have something inverted...
