Cory, thanks for the clarification. ...It was meant to be a joke. When I read it I thought it was flamebait. -Brian Bates, ROTFL Corey R Clingo <clingoc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>@freelists.org on 10/11/2001 09:39:39 AM Please respond to foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: Re: [foxboro] Fear & Loathing in Las Vega$ This is with tongue firmly planted in cheek, right? Or are you that new to Foxboro? <grin> Corey "Mark V. Urda" <mvurda@xxxxxxx> on 10/10/2001 09:16:42 PM Please respond to foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: foxboro <foxboro cc: Subject: Re: [foxboro] Fear & Loathing in Las Vega$ Dear UNIX devotees- Do not fear the future, but embrace it. Just as the superior Beta lost to the inferior VHS, UNIX with its many strengths but eroding market share will give way to Windows NT/2000/XP capabilities and promises. Just as Foxboro for many years has provided a migration path to protect your DCS investment, Invensys Process Systems will provide a path to ease the transition to the ArchestrA software architecture. UNIX is not dead, but just like pnuematics and the 4-20ma loop, it is not future direction of our industry. Sincerely yours; Mark V.
