	Not so, AA, there is only the one son that is on Wormy and he will
hand-me-up his obsolete items to his Mom. The rest of my family are on PCs,
remember, my #2 daughter coded for MS and was even invited to Redmond and
offered a post there. All my out-laws are on PCs and they keep me busy too.

	This is not my point, AA. I am of the opinion that the Wormy is great, I
just do not see its costs justified, 4 times the cost for not much more, if
any. S. the god has a fine following.

	Totally agreed. My other restriction is the inability to homebrew those
machines. This is mostly due to the mantra that only a wormy store/techie
can fix one, as, yes, they do break down.

	Only if they are well heeled or are handed free machines or work for a
daily that is still using Wormies, not here, the Gazette is saving $G/year
after an unnoticeable switch. The "We do not get virus" is pass‚,
they now get them or at least, they are getting a myriad of updates as
protection but do not know about it as they are forced onto them. What one
does not know, does not hurt !

	Shoot ! I had resolved to forgo anymore of this argument, I only wanted to
reply to you, politely. No mas !
