So, When do we get a chance to meet you???
If you've been in the industry that long, you'vegot to have some interesting
perspectives on the past, present and future of computing. Based on the even
handedness of your posting, I'd be interested in attending a talk given by
you...anyone else?
I have been enjoying this list, even though I don't yet have a Linux box to work
on. It's true, some of the anti-Microsoft stuff is juvenile, but not (given MS'
numerous shortcomings) offensive.

Looking back, I think Microsoft won their market share in open competition three
times - first with MS-DOS, then with Windows 3.1, then with Microsoft Office.
And I think all of us P.C. users have benefitted from the intense competition,
from the greed (if you will) of all the companies involved. Of course that is
all in the past. All we know of the future is that it will be the same in some
ways, and different in some ways. Which ways will be the same, and which ways
will be different - now that's anybody's guess.
Of course, my memory is slipping nowadays, and others may remember the past
differently.
