[Jim B. <jbo...@bc...>]

Micheal, my apologies, I wasn't paying attention to the reply behaviour

Cheers

Jim

The myth that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.
