A lot of the questions are very Microsoft-biased, or at least personal
computer biased. What does ctrl-c do? Well, it sends sigint, yeah? What does
ctrl-z do? It's EOF on VMS. "Supporting dynamic and static drives" is a bit
weird -- I suppose Linux supports them, whatever they are. And everyone
knows that perl stands for "pathologically eclectic rubish lister".

(...) I just rebooted my system into Win98, installed the Flash 5 player into Netscape, and the swf tells me I don't have Flash 5. So I guess I'll try the exe version... (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
