================================================ Subject: Re: Multi-lingual signs... Multilanguages From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Tue 7 Aug 2001 00:35:47 -0400 ================================================ The last M$ product that I paid for was to upgrade from 16 bit windows 3.1 to windows 95. I also bought the 32 bit msoffice package. The only reason that I got newer versions of mScrash was that it was pre-installed on the machines that I bought. MS 98 was on my pentium 233 MHz and MS ME was on the newer Pentium 3. I rarely use MS. But have it set up to dual boot into either Linux or ME. The ME is when I want to test windoze stranded programs. But, believe me. If I can burn CD's, surf the Internet, play multimedia. Use spreadsheet programs, document and HTML. Plus program in a host of different programming languages for free. Why the heck pay to make the richest man in the world richer? Don't we have other things to do with the money? I think I have better things to spend my wages on. BTW - Jon ... Good point on the have to have it. If it is new. People assume it is better. But newer does not mean better. "Old and Lousy" might be better than "you gotta buy...It's new" (but only rumored to be the best thing since equality and freedom.)
