One cent's worth:

Maybe it just means that we W95 operators are wiser and more cunning than
the rest of you.
We know when we're onto a good thing, and we're sticking to it.

Go, all you good XP'ers. Get the bugs out before I get there. The 95'ers
are laughing quietly in the background.

Who wants multimedia and networking and fast games anyway.

I've also seen very few email viri passing thru over the years. Those that
do are harmlessly extinguished. I guess we 95'ers are below the dignity of
hackers, not worth bothering about. Sad.

I don't even have a firewall. (But I'm not on cable anyway).

Suits me! I'm not at all jealous of these new
super-machines(wellll---perhaps just a wee bit---OK, a lot).
