Don't laugh too soon! Coherent is a strong product and a very viable
replacement for the much outdated MSDOS.

Coherent is a clone of version 7 Unix which, as I understand it, was
the last great Unix release before the phone company started charging
for it.

There's a newsgroup called comp.os.coherent where all this can be
discussed, and everyone has the courtesy of taking serious questions
seriously.

Note the followup line.
