Why did you snip it there, flatty? Could it be because the next paragraph
was the author's solemn oath never to switch to Windows? He still runs
DOS, and Wordperfect for DOS, and plans on sticking with that setup till
hell freezes over.

Why did you snip that, flatty? Would it have undermined your thesis? :)

By the way, the author is about as non-technical as you can get and still
be capable of using a word processor. His grasp of almost everything he
wrote about in that article is, to put it charitably, broken.
