I haven't bought any Winders Crapware(tm) in a long while. I just might
go out and buy Fisted just to see what lethal weapon MICROS~1 used to
finally commit suicide.

Mind you, I won't go looking for it while they can still make anything
from it. I'll wait until it's nearly museum quality and the monopolists
are "fixing" exploding toasters by replacing the power cords* before I
bother seeking it out. But it'll be something my son can tell his
grandkids about someday in the future.
