Lucien,

We've been through this before.  Tell me how many people don;t use MS-Word,
Excel or another MS program?  A small percentage.  Word killed Wordperfect,
Excel killed Lotus, much like IBM-clones killed Apple.  You can trash Bill
Gates all you want, people seem to like to have a whipping post, but for me
he is changing the industry (which I am in actually in as opposed to other
who are not) for the better (just my opinion).  I have a suite of programs
that can transfer information between them and operate together.  I have a
network that will shortly replace Novell as they have become complacent
ignoring their customer's needs (sounds like Leica?).  Say what you want,
but realize its easy to trash something that one has little inside
understanding of.
