Hi Taperwood2,
I've switched to reading Byte nowdays, they have folks who know their
stuff (techies) come in and write for them. I'm tired of those very good
writers, but not techies, write swell sounding articals that are riddled with
technical errors!! I mean really--if I want a sales job I'll read the adds,
but I expect reviews to have their facts straight and not try snow me:-)
Boy would I be steaming now if Infoworld had called me then printed that
artical!!! But then again they are a ZiffDavis company and probably know
that's why I cancelled all subscriptions to their rags, er...mags:-). Did you
ever see the ZiffDavis review of MiS DOS 6.0? Not a mention of Dr DOS 6.0
that had been out for a year (bug free I might add:-) with all the same
features! Could it be because ZiffDavis has a MiS DOS 6.0 book out but not a
Dr DOS 6.0 book?
I'm wondering how they will review the ZOOMER when it comes out. But
knowing that ZiffDavis knows that it's top advertizer (=money to ZiffDavis)
is MiS I'll bet all it says is: "No keyboard, only good for jotting things
down and worst of all it don't do windows!".
Yep, sounds just like what I'm looking for!

P.S. Do you have Infoworld's internet account around? When they do mess up
the review we can all send them a 'straightening out' e-mail:-)
