As an outside observer....

... who doesn't give a damn about Lotus Whatever or whether some
MS producty is better, I have just one question.....

Has Sheldon Britton's keyboard always been this screwed up?????

What! "outside observer...

... who doesn't give a damn about Lotus Whatever"; that's very good for you Mr. Earl Benser. The Holy Bible tells us that when God was finished creating the world and he saw that it was empty he created (in addition to man whom he created in "His Own Image") all manner of things around him so that he may be happy; believe me, when the "key board" was being "fingered" by someone other than me at Sheffield U. during the late 70's I hardly knew what the heck he was doing; regrettably also, the COBOL, FORTRAN (in our diaries) and REXX (the OS/2's Scripting Language) Computer Languages meant little to me around the same time and I couldn't care a damn also. (honestly, I wish I understood their values as I do now). Let me stop at this point to ask you if I can answer a "real" question about LOTUS 1-2-3 (to each his own) for you, nicely put! However, what make you think that my computing interests and skills are limited to the K_E_Y -- B_O_A_R_D when it is widely known the the W3C is actively considering "XML VOICE STANDARDS" that also hold my interest! Did you really want an response from me; and, was this of any help to you?

[Earl Benser]

You use up a whole lot of words to say....

... yes.

Earl....

I regret that I am going to have to ask you to re-post your follow-up through the "post a comment" and not through the "string". I am unable to read your response. I do not now know the reason for this and whether it is coming from the CNET News.com's end!
