Actually, to some extent, I can understand why most all the smaller Windows
companies are not on here.  Since internet, e-mail and news access usually
involve using a unix (or, ugh, VMS) system it's doubtful that a DOS company
would be interested in such things.

The only reason I'm on here is that I used UseNet when I was in college and
did everything I could to convince the higher ups in our company that it was
worthwhile to keep track of things here.  As it is, most of what I do here
is my own personal thing and no-body else in the company reads or keeps
track of it.

However, we do have a group of rebels here that want to secretly set up a
Unix server and get us on UseNet as an actual node.
