   I just love it when a DOS user tells me how he now has "multitasking"
with 3.0 - I just tell him to go format 2 disks and write a letter on a
word processor - or shoot - just format 2 disks at once.  :-)   I was
just talking to an engineer here at *ntel and he said something like: well,
the more you know about computers, the less likely you are to buy *BM - and 
the more you know about software the less likely you are to buy a clone. -
too bad so many developers have to count on huge market  -  maybe the
point here
is that if your software was good to begin with - you wouldn't need a potential
market measured in millions -
