Roy Schestowitz is a liar and a spammer. He appears to enjoy
misrepresenting things to support his own lame views. Considering he
works as a fresher fluffer in an academic establishment, I am
surprised they are so willing to be linked with his lies and spam.

But You can be sure that in his wisdom, Roy foresaw greater system
requirements back then.

Hindsight is a wonderful asset to have.....
