Channelling Steve Ballmer again, are we???  ... Ben Myers
Hogwash! It really bothers you to run into somebody who really
knows how hardware and software *really* works, doesn't it?
OK, that made me laugh.  Ben has clearly shown more expertise here,
for a longer time, than you have.  Personally, I have 28 years in IT
and am the COO AND CIO of a large insurance company.

In my opinion, Ben's on the right track.  Your pro-microsoft
diatribe was hilarious.
For starters Tom, I'm not Pro-Microsoft. I could careless about
Microsoft. So you are wrong there. As I only care about what
actually works! And I'm not a Microsoft basher like you and Ben. As
that would be acting immature. Secondly maybe your 28 years in the IT
field makes you sound
impressive to some. But to people like me who started with the VTAS
Computer Project that got man on the moon, you're just another
inexperienced computer user. Thirdly, I wouldn't tell people you work
for an insurance company. As
insurance companies make money by ripping off hard working honest
people who takes responsibility for their actions. Which isn't
something I would be personally proud of.

Fourthly, I would totally expect you to agree with Ben. As it is just
another example of the blind leading the blind.

Fifthly, I wouldn't expect you to understand any of this. ;)
I'll trump your VTAS Computer Project (whatever that is) in terms of
experience, paid to program and operate dinosaur computers back in the
mid '60s, before the man on the moon.

I bash Microsoft when they deserve it.  The vulnerability of their
products deserves bashing.  The release of a patch outside the usual
patch Tuesday cycle is a rare plus for Microsoft.  They must be
listening to large customers now... Ben Myers
Apples and oranges Ben. What you call high tech is to me low tech. My high
tech is what you probably call military technology. And since I was the
smartest and brightest in my electronic engineering class they had in 5
years, they grabbed me right away and I was working in the high tech
military field. So what you people call brand new high technology, is
something most likely I was already using and working decades ago. We are
not mentioned in the history books or tech news or anything. As it is all
classified. So I live in a déjà vu world. Been there and seen this before.
;)

So you bash Microsoft when they deserve it, but you don't do the same for
Mozilla which was even *much bigger news* the very same day! How so very
biased of you, Ben. No fairness in reporting from you, eh? Just more FUD,
isn't that so, Ben? lol

Oh military High Tech  I remember that.  I watch the demo of a new ready to
field piece of electronics fry it's self.  The demo guys were frantic, but
the techies just went "Hmmm? It never did that before."  and then the stuff
we fritzed as a demonstration of the interdiction of high tech systems by
low tech methods, (see French revolution, origin of the word saboteur).

Then again it's quite cold here so keep venting hot air, we can use the
warmth.

The heat is one definite advantage, but it's gotten hard to go around in
this newsgroup without hip boots.  Of course, this too could become an
advantage if we took all this stuff left on the floor of this NG by the
ever anonymous BillW50 and processed it to get either methane and
fertilizer or peat... Ben Myers
