Dave, Are you there? Did OS/2 crash on your computer? Are you OK, Should someone in Florida check on him - see if he's OK? Concerned, Mike

OS/2? Crash? Huh? Nope. I'm stable, and Micro$oft free since 1994.

My ISP, however, leaves lots to be desired.  News server was down, seems
ok now.  And I'm a bit touched by your concern. :)   Thanks.

I've been Microsoft free all my life (I'm 36). Love my Mac and we don't need no stinking Office. For me, it's a religion.

:) I succumbed to MS Word but feel guilty supporting Bill Gates. Esp after hearing - woops, I just realized I might get sued for libel.

I don't think so. I worked for IBM for a few years. I dunno if it was something they put in the water, or subliminal messages in the muzak, but I have a tremendous distaste for Bill Gates and his company. The fact that Winblows comes preloaded on any new PC is also distressing. It aughta be my choice.

I was sorta disturbed when watching "The Caddy" because they show a close up of a Winblows box right next to the telephone on Jerry's desk. I couldn't imagine why they would do such a thing. That little scene made "the Caddy" my least favorite episode.

BTW, I inspect all of my paper money, and any time I come across a bill
with three sixes in a row in the serial number, I circle the sixes and
write "Bill Gates is Satan" beneath it.  If you come across one of these
bills, it may have gone throught my hands at some point. :)

Oh, was that wonderful!!  I don't have the AVI, but if I close my eyes I
can easily see Gates wondering what the hell went wrong.  BTW, I also
have a WAV from years ago of Bill saying OS/2 will be the platform of
the 90's.  It's a hoot!

If you don't mind me asking, what is your hardware and software config.?

That was a great episode. Is your hatred for the Gatester greater than your love for Seinfeld?

That was tongue-in-cheek. I loved "The Caddy". The whole braless O'Henry candy bar heiress bit was beautiful. And I enjoyed the way Kramer came to rely on his golf caddy for everything, not just golf shots, was cute too.

I just close my eyes for those critical few seconds whenever I rewatch
the episode. :)
