My comment about the windows platform was meant to be taken lightly,
introducing the ideas of bigotry and tolerance to me seems to be overkill.
I realize we all have our own jobs to do, and that we have to do them on
certain platforms.  I also know that oppression is a serious problem around
the world. Oppression is what we see in many parts of the world today, we
also see it in a couple network operating systems, and related software
suites.  This software makes it hard for other software to co-operate with
it by not following the rules set forward by a neutral authority, and we all
know what happens when something or someone doesn't follow an aggreement or
a standard - there is a disruption.  Sometimes the disruption results in a
web page not being rendered, while in other cases it involves billions of
dollars worth of missiles and bombs being deployed against the offender.

To many, tolerance is oppression.  Two examples of people like this last
names are Gates and Milosevich (sp?)

nuff said.

<apology>
  Sorry to the rest of the list for going so horribly off topic.
