How to complain to MicroSucks

To Bill ates and all his cronnies

Don't thank me for CHOOSING Microsucks, I'm an unwilling victim of your
monopoly studying hard to extricate myself from your industry crippling
so-called technology.
If you weren't in the right place at the right time for IBM with a pathetic
rudimentary OS you would not have choked the PC industry with a stifiling
grade school OS when many other superior programs were available. If not for
your Macavillian business savy the world would be years ahead of where you
have stiffeled the pc industry.
To bad IBM happened upon your door that day instead of a company with a real
OS capable of using the PC that exsisted at the time instead of the
adolescent level crap you passed off as a OS

CP/M was the other choice at the time.

PC-DOS 1.0 was a clear, if small step up and I never did like the backward
way CP/M commands had.
DOS COPY From to.
CP/M COPY To From.

Radio Shack had TRS-DOS and their were several rivals that put PC-DOS to
shame in the richness of the command set. (They also put the directory in
the middle of the disk to minimize seek time)


It would have been difficult to port UNIX and UNIX was still pretty much
what it was designed to be. An OS to be used with a ton of cryptic commands
by techies running a phone service.
AT&T had not really started the singer sewing machine sales approach.

Pick was not portable either and Dick Pick didn't care. Sadly he believed
the adage about building a better mousetrap.

That would have been and was my choice for programming, via Revelation,
until about 1990.

Pick was an OS that was a database and a lot of the next generation of
windows sounds Pick like.

Pick was designed for business and didn't need PERL to generate ad hoc
reports or a special knowledge to find the field names you wanted in the
report.

Every command that deals with strings which has been added to VB in the last
few years was in Pick Basic 20 years ago. VB still has a way to go.

***********
For those aware of Pick it would have been easy to make it a relational
database since *all* records had to have a unique key and while Codd was
right an OS designed to work with non-atomic fields
does very well most of the time, especially in many-to-many situations
