I call them NECROSMURF. I was a big fan of MSDOS 3.0,back when
they had things like multiplan, and they were still combatting
IBM-compatibility with MSDOS-Generic stuff. I joke that the OS/2
disaster led to MS being BODYSNATCHED by IBM, from which on IBM never
recovered. I mean Windows crashes like an IBM mainframe. I would never
use Windows if I had USB and CD burning and TCPIP access and a
non-graphic JAVA on MSDOS. I got really screwed by the IOMEGA Zipdrive
Click-Of-Death.
