I've sent him two letters by USmail, and one letter by MCImail describing the difference between the sort of crummy multitasking the IBM-PC multitaskers give you and what the Amiga does. I've also written him about his completely baroque view of UNIX. I've received a grand total of two responses (paraphrased): 1) "What do you mean I'm incompetant" scrawled under a place I'd written that he should find someone competant to advise him about the differences between UNIX and MS-DOS Version 2.0. 2) "Send me real mail, I can't use this stupid system" referring to MCI mail. So I got a printout of my letter and mailed it to him. No response. -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!sugar!peter -- Disclaimer: These U aren't mere opinions... these are *values*.
