I feel really sorry for you if you don't understand why that statement
doesn't work.

Yeah, sometimes you have to do a pretty fancy two-step
to get out of the never-ending lock-in upgrade cycle of
MacaroniSoft.

Neal Stephenson calls it the "Tank" of the software world.

When the audience is a Windows-only audience, that is.

The novelty of watching movie trailers wore off for me way
back when I used Win 98.

Anyway, I bought this sign-language program from Staples, and it
uses Quicktime. Xine plays it just fine. In fact, it's pretty cool
to instantiate xine a number of times and have the whole screen
covered with signing people.

I was thinking more along the lines of The Wicked Witch in The
Wizard of Oz.

Crying out for sympathy, which no one feels like giving, as
they shrink to irrelevancy.

Maybe the "developers, developers,..." are the Winged
Monkeys, I have not decided yet.

I read that the nine States who refused to sign on to the
settlement are digging for more incriminating emails which MS
objected to but Judge Kollar-Kotelly allowed to continue.

I hope we get more video depositions as well.

Spring will be pleasant this year.
