Claim is that it's Alpha software.  But, it's very stable.  Very good
OS.  Does most things.  Looking at winduhs 10 today..

I think I know which I prefer.  It's going to be ReactOS or GNU/Linux.
Sorry Microsoft it don't work.  No change since winduhs 3.11.

The Holt cafe is really nice.  Laid back.  Good coffee and tea.  Nice
crowd of people.  We sit round a table and discuss any issue that
comes up.  We have a long range of software and hardware skills.  Can
cope with most things.
