"Windows."
This is, as you suspect (or already know), a derisive term for a
product that I and millions of other Windows users think is most worthy
of derision.

Hi Davoud:

OK, _now_ I understand, thanks. I guess I don't spend much time agonizing over
computer Operating systems. If a machine will run Word, Skytools, Registax and
internet software, I don't give much of a flip.

But I must say "Doze" or "Windoze" looks and sounds just a little silly--to me
anyway. Why not just say "Windows 98" or whatever? Oh, I guess I STILL don't
get it. ;-)




Peace,
