Sunday September 26 1999: Jan Danielsson pounded with both fists on the
keyboard and came up with the following:

 JD> I seems I was wrong about you, and I apologize.

Apology accepted ;-).

 JD>    I want people to think for themselves, and not just listen to what
 JD> Wardell thinks.

Me too, however, I don't see you throw flames at the people who state that
"Brad Wardell is a lying s.o.b. because that meeting never took place". And he 
*never* stated that the meeting took place. Most of the non-brainers I've seen 
think along lines like "Duh! The meeting did not take place: ergo Brad is
lying, ergo IBM will release a client any time now because there is big
business there because after all we still are too cheap to even upgrade to
Warp4".

 JD>  Everytime someone reposts his post, and add the comment "Now it
 JD> really is over." (or something similar) then he gets what he wants.
 JD> The way I see it, adding a "What do you think?" is a much neater
 JD> approach.

Could be. However, Brad made a very interesting post about Will Zachman. Just
b4 Warp4 was released, Zachman predicted that IBM would do exactly as they
indeed did over the last few years. Brad attacked Will in a *very* severe way, 
almost stating the same things ("Microsloth lemming", lying sob, spineless
twit and words to that effect) that Brad gets slung at himself now.

I remember that flame war very vividly as at the time I was a regular visitor
of the Canopus forum in Compuserve where it took place.

I do believe that it is *very* fair to state that Stardock probably did a lot
more for OS/2 over the last few years than IBM did. And I know I will probably 
get flamed for this remark by some of the "Stardock sucks" pre-pubescence
twits who never bought a piece of software in their lives but I don't give a
f4.

Yes, some Stardock software was less than perfect when released and I too did
have some really big problems with some of it, but at least my problems (and
from a lot of others) have always been fixed by some excellent support through 
the Stardock Compuserve forum.

 JD> Again, I am sorry.

That's OK. ;-)

Let's look at the bright side: Maybe IBM *will* release a client themselves
and spare all the proverbial donkeys that now yell that Brad is a lying s.o.b. 
the humiliation of looking really, really stupid.


Shields down!
