If I want to buy a computer and I don't want Windoze on it I have to build my own (which is fine because I enjoy doing so). But when I use the Internet, which is supposed to work on all computers, and I come across a site that I can't use because I don't use some inferior OS (hint has 95 in it soon to have 98), then I do think that it's time for someone to do something. Look at java, supposed to run on all computers but what does Micro$soft do with it? I've used Win95 and have found it to be about the worst OS I've ever used. The way I look at it your buddy Gates is just lucky that he doesn't have a class action lawsuit against him for the cause of "reset button finger disorder". If in fact that Windoze were a better OS you can bet your bottom dollar that I would use it. But this is just not the case and that's why I hate it, simple as that. Now please take your M$ apologetics somewhere else. keep on computin' (but don't force me to have to do it your way), jamess
