[TriLUG] OT: legacy 16bit DOS programs on Win2k

What are you the topic police?  Evidently because Ryan's writing style
doesnt suit your tastes (ie he didnt ask questions in the appropriate order,
he included information you deemed irrelevant), he gets the "go away we dont
want you" treatment.  (only from you)

NO ONE is arguing that there arent other areas to ask this question.  Why
arent you yelling at people who complain about their RR?  Thats not linux
related.  TW Telecom had a web site that didnt work with any browser except
IE - yet that was allowed.

You have a chip on your shoulder is all that I can see.
