*laugh* You might be surprised at how many coders I know to this day who STILL hate little Billy Gates and his “proprietary” code, and openly sneer at how he not only blatantly stole the whole GUI concept entirely and got away with it, but as the years progressed when any other great program would come out he would either try to produce an equivalent product and then muscle them out of the market or outright buy them out and either remarket it as an MS product or sit on it to make it disappear.
I was forced to switch to ‘doze at the 3.1-3.11 transitional level since the new workplace demanded it, but I (and we) were never too thrilled about it.
Now so many things are ‘doze-dependent and malware has become a constant concern.
It’s a whole new Matrix. :)
