- I don't use Ventura publisher, I use Pagemaker. So I don't think I'll call
- Ventura. But as I stated above, I have 32 bit flat memory, i.e. 4GB without
- the tricks etc. not *kilobytes* but *gigabytes*.

- Listen Shithead, you know jack shit about me, so quit calling me kid
- because my sig tells you I'm in college, how the fucking hell do you know
- how old I am. Maybe if you'd open your fucking eyes and read you'd realize
- that I'm using OS/2. What's that you say. It's a 32-bit OS, without
- the limits of that Microsoft shit. Obviously you're not to familiar with
- the PC world, if you don't even know what's happening in it. Just
- because you work with it 8 hours a day doesn't mean you know it. And you
- are not "obviously a hell of a lot more familar" with the PC than I am,
- just because you sit on your ass and type on one. Get Real and come
- back down to mother earth.
