SET ANGRY ON

Gee, and I thought I was the only nut for whom "upgrade-fever" is akin, in most cases, to "generalized stupidity".

We're throwing billions of dollars into computers for what? To do word processing with cute "assistants" and be able to view the coolest screensavers.

During the past 5 years most office-related upgrades were geared towards "internet enabling" our simple apps. In the 99 pc-expo I literally drilled a couple of Microsoft people to give me a few NON internet related reasons to tell my clients to spend money upgrading to Office 97 or 2000.
They gave me a lot of crap, but neither of them was able to suggest sound and logical reasons to do the upgrade.

It just angers me to see people using machines capable to set up a colony in jupiter to type memos and then have NASA screw up because they confused english and metric units. ARRGGHHHH!!!

SET ANGRY OFF

ahhhh... much better now... thanks!
