No kidding, we REALLY need just two things, a MicroSoft Money/Quickbooks 
and Accel killers. With those two things, Linux would own the desktop

p/s I laid out over two grand for an Apple ][ with two floppies and 64k 
of memory in 1978. They lost me when they kicked us Apple ][ users under 
the bus. One would have to have more money than brains to keep up with 
their scheme of premeditated obsolescence. At least far more money than 
I have! :) Ric
