Ignore the the laughkat's compliment - it is doubtful she understands.

However, for myself - THANK YOU - excellent article....well deserved in its entirity.

Compared to the U.S.A. Europe has better cell-phones and so does Japan (but one is an island the other a continent.)

Even more surprising - in today's WSJ - Asia has broadband access that is 13TIMES faster than the American DSL. (Not 56K phone - but continental DSL)

At least the DT understands ANSI.

Forget Java, and XT, and scripting, and Active X

Just give me DOS 3.0 again...and we can all get along together just fine.

Sincerely,
