	It is still my opinion that the IBM is a far worse machine than the
	Apple // line. And don't say I never used an IBM.  I've used an
	IBM from the first PC, then XT, AT, and now 386 20 MHz, I still don't
	like much to use it except when what I need is only available on
	those machine and I can't find a replacement on others machine at 
	tiem time and place. However, I do find out that Messy-DOS is easier
	then VAX/VMS... (note that I don't say VAX/Ultrix :-)
