Amen :-(

WordPerfect is FAR superior to Word (and the world of Word clones we inhabit now). If Wine now has good WoW 16-bit support, I shall have to have another go at resurrecting my WP6.1 (for DOS!/Win3.1) and get that running again.

And my rants about Pick/MultiValue. I've just put a spec in to my boss and said "allow 2 weeks (8 including contingency) for using MV". I'll probably miss the 2 weeks - I don't consider myself a star programmer. But "allow 6 weeks, 24 including contingency, I *expect* to miss the 24, for using Relational/SQL".

There's far too much top-notch technology that gets eclipsed by marketing, monopoly EEE, or just the "ooh shiny" :-(

Cheers,
