perhaps...
but why associate mpe with complacency? yes, i realize that's pretty
much how it is...and it a real shame. everyone says how great mpe is
-- but how many people really take advantage of that greatness? when i
get the chance i tell people mpe is what unix hopes to be when it grows
up. yes, stability is a wonderful thing -- but it's no reason to not
grow and change. this whole complacency thing is a lot of what's
threatening mpe's very existence...and i so wish that weren't the case
