how stupid is stupid?



Have you seen the latest ad for Win2K that says if you miss the good old
days, to cut out the picture of a BSOD???   Jan 222 InfoWorld page 14. They
are admitting that they sold a lousy product, but why should I believe them
now that the new Windoze will not be a lousy unreliable product as well????

I was just issued a Win2K laptop for some work, and (mind you that this
is the first time I've seen Win2K running) noticed the wonderful splash
screen that states:

	Built on NT technology

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't that translate to

	Built on New Technology Technology

In accordance with the standard improvement process for regular commercial
items (like soap & toothpaste), it would be more proper to state:

	Built on New New Technology

	Or better yet...

	Nu-Nu Technology

Which proves my whole concept that Windows was developed by the Teletubbies!
