Post #125,041 by rickmoen 11/11/03 1:46:07 AM Reply	Much cleaner Hmm, at a quick glance you seem to have gotten most or all of those corrections merged in. The one glitch that keeps standing out at me is the rapid alterations between singular and plural -- within sentences -- in referring to companies. The first example is in the very first sentence. "Microsoft" is first singluar ("Microsoft is") and then plural ("they"). The reader tends to suffer whiplash, after a while. Excellent job, by the way.

"The Administration have made a frightful cock-up of foreign policy." As a language (d)evolves, it seems to lose track of its characteristic features. BTW I have a real Linux challenge for you if you're interested. All you have to do is get a package to compile, and explain to me why it was horked as released. -drl

I have, however, figured out how to get Okidata Network dot matrix printers configured and working on various networks and with various versions of Windows and Unix - but 2:00am is bedtime.
