When you're telling the CPU what you want it to do ?

Hmmm fyngyrz...
How can an advocate of the C-Programming Language not know who Rob Pike is ?
I remember the early-to-mid-90s when Microsoft gave away their inferior Office Product with every PeeCee.
It only took a couple years for Microsoft Office to virtually destroy WordPerfect, Lotus and AMIPro.
IMO, OpenOffice is a much better product today than when Microsoft leveraged their OS Monopoly to corner the Integrated Office Application Market.
The difference now is that the PeeCee Manufacturers are rightly terrified of MS so that they apparently refuse to bundle OpenOffice with each PeeCee and perhaps because OpenOffice lacks an integrated Email App (maybe).
I wish Mark Cuban was right but I am afraid Microsoft's Monopoly is too powerful to kill with a free product that's 'good enough'.
If the App itself is still good enough to manage the proctice, and it is truly a DOS App, then maybe a linux terminal server + DOSEMU + diskless workstations is the way to go ?
Yeah... kinda like they (Sun) bought INTERACTIVE UNIX from Eastman Co. (Kodak) back around 1992, forced their user base to migrate to their shite-x386 Solaris, then killed INTERACTIVE UNIX.
"Adobe has fessed up to a dangerous code execution vulnerability affecting software programs installed on millions of Windows machines. The flaw, publicly disclosed more than three weeks ago, could allow hackers to use rigged PDF files to take control of Window XP computers with Internet Explorer 7 installed. It affects Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Professional and Elements and Adobe Acrobat 3D."
This latest analysis shows that the Sun has had a considerable indirect influence on the global climate in the past, causing the Earth to warm or chill, and that mankind is amplifying the Sun's latest attempt to warm the Earth.
