Redirecting backup jobs to null is not really my idea of a fun morning
maintaining a Unix server (unless it is going to cause an enemy some
considerable greif).

re: real old, real fast.
Very true. One of the few things that keeps me using Windows is the ability
to try the latest software/hardware. Take, for example, MSIE4. It allows me
to design a fully customised HTML/JAVA/ActiveX desktop. I can have frames
which include live video streams, a web page or two, a couple of
ini-desktops
etc. etc. all on the one desktop. Fun at first, but once I've done the
review, it's history, and I'm back in the DOS box, where I belong.
And before you start crapping on about MS and it's tactics and useless
bloatware again, let me just tell you that Netscape are also doing the same
thing (better, but slower than MSIE4), possibly to be ported to OS2 if it's
popular
