hmmm, I would say Microsoft was for the personal computer age. Linux, RPG, Fortran, Unix, Basic, etc. and later the best ever was OS2 from IBM.

The Mac was made for home use. Microsoft marketed their product to Packard Bell for their consumer division.

Modems were external and optional. The units were used for data via floppy for encyclopedia type stuff and small business accounting.

Graphics and interpreters like CShow came after Windows 3.1.

but I get your point. The government develops stuff for itself then it hits private. Lots of stuff came from the space race.

I just don't believe in Govt. investing in private industry. It breeds as we see crony capitalistic corruption.

I hope we increase manufacturing here. That is the lifeblood of the middle class.

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
