Gee Steve, could you be talking about me?
You know many people still love things that are bad for them, smoking,
gambling, excessive drinking, HP Servers, etc. So I don't hold your comments
against you. I know that one day you'll stop and say "How could I have been
so blind for all these years, these Compaqs are the best!"
And when you do I will welcome you with open arms ;-)
Jeff
