A rather ridiculous statement... what if I said the very same thing about
Linux... exactly *why* would it not be true for it also? :-)

Sounds a little like a democrat friend I know who makes fun of the arguments
and reports any republican comes up with... Or, more to the point like Bob
Repko's remark... the report isn't worth the paper it's written on... again,
much like my 19 year old "liberal" friend who just poo-pooh's anything she
doesn't like, can't understand, disagrees with or doesn't want to hear.
By the way Bob, just yesterday I pointed Tony Ryder to an article of yours
in The Guru about browse lookups... He was very appreciative. Of course,
you might have been able to tell him about it yourself, but it was in the FP
Room. It's been about a year that the room has been active and working great
for folks... but you have never managed to even check it out... too bad. But
then, the place is served from a Windows box and only accessible from MS
Explorer... I didn't think you had the big anti-Windows prejudice that most
around here do? Again, just too bad. And people complain that filePro has
nothing going for it viz support and community. :-)

I take nothing (and even this article) at face value... All I did was post
it at face value... It may not even be the full article (see Bill V's note.)
I made no comment other than to jest how it would be taken here... and you
certainly filled the bill. :-) A conspiracy from SCO or MS? That's rich.

You are right about that... :-)
