Oh Geez!  I don't want to start a flame war over RPN vs. Algebraic OK?
I was only trying to point out the stupidity of extended battles over
such technology by people (like us programmers) who really don't matter
(unlike users; note that the groups are not mutually exclusive).  

Sheesh, so emotional.  By the way, Vacuum tubes really suck.  Transistors
are the only way to go.  Also, manual transmissions are really sick.  Auto-
matics are more advanced.  Oh, and anyone who still listens to AM radio 
should be wearing bearskins and have one eyebrow.  I listen to FM (highbrow).

Pespi is better than Coke anyday.
McDonalds has better burgers than Burger King.
Chevys eat Fords for breakfast.




And of course: PC's suck.
