| Do you like XENIX (HELL NO PARDNER!!!!!!!). This is a call to all of you
| hackers and hackettes. If you dont like the smell of the dreaded XENIX
| (comparable to getting AIDS) and you don't like deal with wannabe's like
| BELL tech, then do I have a deal for you????. Call Microport and let them 
| know that you have a big fear of non - standard diseases (ala Xenix).

	  What a well reasoned technical analysis of the (successful)
	competition.

|   [ ... stuff deleted ... ]           Having sampled the crap that
| SCO puts out, and the fact that they (SCO) think their shit don't stink,
| but their farts give them away. Lets give Microport an incentive to stay in
| business. 

      Seeing the quality of the people job hunting at Uniforum I
    have doubts about the quality of the survivors. Is this one?
    This babbling cretin with the feces complex? If this is what's
    left euthanasia is called for, to avoid destroying the memory of
    M.P. as it was.

|           If you feel as I do, then call them A.S.A.P. I know the folks 
| at uport, and even though they have had some problems with their products,
| they have cheerfully assisted in resolving and correcting them. Where else
| could you get the same service ??????.

      Excuse me? Anyone who wait **years** for a working serial
    driver and DOSmerge may not totally agree with you.

|                                        Nowhere without paying through the
| rectal orifice, which tends to be extremely odiferous.

  He really like anal analogies, doesn't he?
    

|                                                        I know that every
| employee is fighting and trying their hardest not to let you folks down
| and to keep the business going. You can help. Now is the time. Do it... 

      Hire one of the competent people who was wandering around
    with a resume...

| System V.3.2 ATT standard will live, not some bastard child of
| systems III and 7

      Actually M.P. and V.3 are not synonomous. V.3 will live...

| Thanks for reading this.

      The pleasure was all your.

| Thanks for reading this. I can be reached at 619-693-7266 office number.
| My name is Andy Georgiou. And if you cannot reach me at work, my home number
| is 619-549-8702. I am not on the net, but you can call and I will be glad to
| respond.
________________________________________________________________

    Some of the things I said might be taken as personal insults.
    They were. I doubt that this person, whoever s/he is, lack net
    access. There was certainly access to post this. I realize that
    losing your job is tough, but thousands do it with some grace
    and dignity. M.P. will live or die by profits (or more likely
    loss) and all the good wishes in the world won't pay a single
    bill.

Disclamer: I have nothing but best wishes for the people at
M.P., some of whom I consider friends. I have stated in other
groups that I am a (former) dissatisfied user of their products,
but that is totally a technical issue.
