I don't really care about the past.... what matters is today. Let's face it. Windows 95 sucks, but so does Macintosh. I only use Win 95 because most of the software I want to run requires it. However, I also like the challenge of configuring my computer. A macintosh is great if you want an easy interface, and a simple computer. A DOS/WINDOWS PC is good if you have a little knowledge, and want to have more control over what your computer is doing, as well as a whole lot of software, such as compilers for Fargo, which isn't available on the MAC!!! (see, this is calculator related :) ) So, please take any flames to private E-mail: ti85calc@bellsouth.net

YOU ARE SO WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG
The vi editor was written by Bill Joy (a key player in much computer
innovation - is he still with Sun?) when he was part of the staff at the
Computer Systems Research Group at the University of California at
Berkeley. How about you all just shut up since you're just flaming each
other and most of the garbage that you're spouting (besides being more or
less purely subjective in nature) is dead wrong.
However, I feel obliged to point out the undeniable truth that Macintosh
computers have and always will be vastly superior to anything else anywhere.
Macs forever rule,
