Let me get this right.

You're saying that Microsoft has spent millions of dollars
in order to re-create the mis-begotten spacing of
a thirty-year old mechanical device that was

That's what you're saying here?


And..... and I suppose Bill Gates is also spending
millions of dollars to re-create the ever-popular
mainframe "green screen" and punch-card input
for the next version of Windows!
