It's not just or even mainly the binaries groups, I learn a lot from
the comp.sys.ibm.pc and comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc groups, just you
may learn from unix-wizards or comp.arch. 

That doesn't make a company shaky. In fact, we are profitable and have
a good cash reserve in the bank too. But I don't think this is the
place to discuss this.
