[geeks] MSFT == a-holes! (please excuse this OT rant)

[Michael S. Schiller]

Greg:

well the program I use for keeping track of my ebay auctions is one. It's called
Auctiontamer, and while it uses IE as it's browser, it does a lot more than just a
browser. Could I get along without it? Sure, but it does make auction management much
easier. And besides, if I didn't have at least one app that used Windows, how would
I justify having a SunPCi card in my U5?
