IJMC Top Ten Reasons Hell is Better than Microsoft

            IJMC - Top Ten Reasons Hell is Better than Microsoft

Just for Ronnie, who let me know I had failed in sending out the IJMC 
before 1am (my closer-to-normal-bedtime) instead of 5:30am as it is now, 
I'm sending out this second posting. Ok, the fact that my mouse 
dissapeared in certain Win95 windows until I rebooted the system had a 
little bit to do with it...hmm, only a little more work to do before I 
can sleep...<yawn>...just remember, send your name and whatnot to that 
guy from the last posting! G'night Gracie.                         -dave
