Gentle HP 3000 List members,

Consider this:

- It's a question of attitude. If you know, if you just know, if you really
know you are going to have trouble with the OS, you will.
- For as long as I can remember, the world has been looking for a single
operating system which lets people share data and software.  We are pretty
much on the way with Windows, so why are there cries of anguish about MS
being a monopoly because everyone in the hearing room uses Windows?
- I think a good answer from Bill Gates would have been, "How many people
in this room have started using the Internet when they got Windows 95?"
- We want to break up Microsoft's monopoly as computer hardware and
software prices keep falling.  Yet we do not say a word when the
government's monopolistic management of Medicare causes health care prices
to climb through the roof.
- On April 1, 2 days ago, your shiny new Pentium MMX laptop was rendered
obsolete.  The Mobile Pentium II (Deschutes class) was released.  How fi
tting that an entire class of expensive laptops be made obsolete on April
Fool's day.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .
