Ok people. Enough is enough. I'm getting a little tired of two
things: 1) personal attacks over the list, and 2) the UNIX/VMS greatness
debate.
The first doesn't be belong on this or any other list. Lists like
this were started up for the dissemination of information, solving problems
and getting to know people. Personal attacks are embarrassing. Grow up.
The second is useless. Operating systems are like editors and can
cause religious wars vary easily. There will always be people who like one
oerating system over the other for various reasons. Among other things,
whether or not an operating system is useful depends on what is being dne
at the tme. We all know that there are times when UNIX has its uses and
there are times when VMS has its uses. Please, no cracks about when or if.
For those of you who may think I lack a sense of humor, well I really
do have one. I just get irate now and then.
