Tuesday October 05 1999: Hairs a mess and tie askew Peter French walked up to
Frits Spieker and stated:

 PF> they are asking me to pay $279 for 2 years of future updates to my
 PF> favourite Intel OS.  Hmmm, tough choice here!

*what* updates? IBM asks you to pay in *advance* without telling what you get
for it.
Just look at what was offered the last two years in Software Choice and then
ask yourself again.

 PF> Cynics know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Sure. And fools still think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Vriendelijke groet,
