On approximately 12/10/2003 2:28 PM, came the following characters from

Did Win32::GUI ever work on 5.005 ?  I certainly wouldn't worry too much 
about supporting such an old release at this point.  5.6 and 5.8 seem 
sufficient to me.  But if you can figure out, without delaying things 
too much, more power to you.

Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it
offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.  It's ridiculous.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
  The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 
  billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.
  --from Reuters via

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more 
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of 
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs 
and security problems?  Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. 
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
