- My customers have large hard disks, but very little time.
- I have been swearing about MSC; PWB and the MFC all authumn,
- and yesterday I gave in and bought Borland C++ and started

- small size being better than solid performance and ease-of-use.
- If I was to write something cryptic and small, I'd use FORTH
- for DOS. Or CP/M, even ;-)
