Maybe ibm will get some kind of really good endorsement deal out of it. You know what I mean, cool young guys driving like a volkswagon convertible with beepers and cell phones. Drinking coffee and reading Java books. That would be cool. Yeah. Like maybe "OS2, the official Operating System of the 1996 Atlanta Games". Yeah, that would be really cool. Then John Tesh could do a really maudlin piece about the hard luck programmers that wrote the stuff. You know, how they only had potato chips to eat, not fat free ones either. Ah yes, I can see it now. That would be really cool. But then microsoft would catch on. They would buy the Olympics and make them run windoze95. Oh no, I forgot that Netscape would need a piece of that too. Man, the possibilities are endless. Jobs and Wosni(spelling) guy would come out with some really cool new appletoshin thing too! When will we get Olympic Device Driver Competition? rct Fed up with crass commercialism. The rant above is mine and mine alone.
