New Another BG line
This is an approximate quote [circa 1992] addressing a [UNIX related] trade show

~"NT is UNIX, in six months it will be the world's most popular UNIX!"~

Did I dredge this up from faulty memory or an alternate universe?

New Remeber NT3.5.1 was a pretty decent product
they fired all the nix developers brought the code monkeys in and handed us 4.0 I was a big fan and a beta tester for NT 3.5. When they sacrificed stability for glamor is when I went sour on the company.
thanx,

New A truly Stupefying line from the little twit hisself:

If you don't know about Rixtools - worth a read. Tiny-sized utils that work, cut through the BS. Even a teeny packet sniffer. You have to pay and - you get more than you pay for, IM marginally incompetent experience.
