 NO argument form me on that one. In fact I think the present windpws in
 some ways is a lesser Operating System then the one I used many years
 ago on a Apple Lisa machine. IT was a rock stable operating system.
 soemthing Windows is only "approaching" some 20 years Later.
OF course Apple with thier UNIX bases OS again takes a quantium leap
leaving Windows looking a VERY poor Second.
NOW if they only can catch up in avaialble, AND equilivent, Programs.
