Jerry,
Had you read my message, you would have noticed the fact that I use Linux both at home and at Work (even though, my company's standard is Win9X, and NT). So what do you think are my thoughts about WinXX? I am too a software developer for the last, lets see, 23 years.

I noticed those facts, but it still doesn't change the fact that I disagree with your view point! :-) Differences of opinion are what make the world go around. But, if you are trying to represent and sell a product, and you disparage it, you are doing your competitors work at no expense to them, and your product won't remain on the market for long. That's a DUH! BTW, Which tools do you use to develop? Is your output for internal use or does it hit the retail shelves? Let's me recall..... I started my computer training at the Barnes School of Business in Denver, CO, in 1959. The IBM 402 tabulator was about 4'X4'X7' and weighed several tons, which is where the term 'heavy iron' came from. They were programmed by jumping plugs with cables. Later, in graduate school in 1967, I learned Fortran 64 on a CDC 6600, and later a Honeywell 200. KSR-33 keyboards were state of the art. My interests switched to PCs when I purchased the first AppleII+ sold in the state of Nebraska in 1978. Since that time, I have used Apple BASIC, Forth, Pilot, Prolog, Pascal, REV. & ADV. REV., COBOL, C, PB, VB, VFP and some minor languages during the 15 years I had my own consulting business, which I retired in 1995. Currently, I program for the State of Nebraska and all my output is for inhouse use. mmmm.... programming for fun and profit for 41 years. But mostly I program because it is fun. When it stops being fun I will quit.
