Thank you. . .  Retiring is for the dead which is permanent.  If you burn
out on what you are doing - try something new.

Linux is a fabulous development in computer O/S.  I believe it has a chance
to be THE universal O/S.  Because is is an open system and will remain so,
and with all the youngsters helping develop it, the only thing it needed
was MONEY.  Now with Intel, Netscape, Orical, etc, etc, putting money into
it ???????????????

The only thing that bothers me is the hate I see for Microsoft and Bill
Gates.  Yes they will roll over you if the get the chance, but our energy
is better spent helping develop new ideas - new systems. . .   From what I
read in these news groups, there is a tremendous amount of talent out
there.  Hope I am around to see it develop. . . 

Forgive my being off topic again. .
