Paul,

I wouldn't pick only on MSDOS folks, I've heard the same statement "..is it
XXX-compatible..", but with XXX meaning: MSDOS, MAC, Unix, OS9 (!), IBM, DEC
etc. Arrogance and single-mindedness is not a trait that MSDOS users can claim
as their own!

Don't knock MSDOS TOO hard, its not a dead (yet), Windows 3.0 turns MSDOS into
something closely resembling a true multitasking OS (granted you need a real
powerhouse of a PC to run it, fast 386 processor and lots of memory) but it is
a step in the right direction. Its still a single user machine, though (of
course...SNIFF! ;-).

I'm rambling a bit, but my main point is that the "my thing is bigger/better
than your thing" statment rarely holds up to close scrutiny, and tends to p.ss
off whoever has whatever you don't. Best bet is to just stick to: "WOW look at
what MY thing can do!!".

Bill
