DFS you are a fool.

Bigger things have happened and ODF is now the thing, with Open Office
taking up supporting ODF and micoshaft unable to comply with
ODF standards thus being relegated to second choice in many a place.

I doubt anyone is setting asside serious money to building
projects around micoshaft oriffice when they have Open Office and ODF.

There are many features in Open Office that micoshaft oriffice
doesn't have, and which I can't do without now;
and the feature list gets bigger and bigger all the time.
And its cross platform.

If I were you, I'd download a free copy of Open Office
and install it on your machines and enjoy the difference

That wasn't the "most ridiculous cola quotes of all" IMO, *this* was:-

"If it weren't for Windows, you wouldn't
be posting anything right now."

That eliminates a lot of wintrolls then.

Hm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet

suggests 1979 for Usenet. (RFC977 came in 1986, some
time later.) Since Microsoft was founded in 1976 but
didn't *announce* Windows 1.0 until 1983 (never mind
*releasing* something that was actually *network-capable*)
I for one find this rather silly.

Nice try, DFS, but no soup for you. Come to think of it,
no crackers, celery, or bread, either. Froth, yes; we've
got *lots* of that.
