Jiri,
Yes, I know there's a big difference. However, it seems a bit
cheesy to me to slam M$ products while using them yourself.
(At least use a Mac or something 
Plus, I thought the subject
at hand was Euphoria. I've not seen anyone on this list engaged in
"active promotion" of M$ stuff, did I miss something?
No, I'm not one of Bill's victims. I very much dislike the way he
does business and I'm not fond of his products. Right now, all I
have is a 3 year old NT box, but I've already decided my next box will
be a G3 PowerMac running MacOS, MkLinux and BeOS (if Be ever gets off
their duff and supports the G3). I'll be completely Wintel free.
