Feminine hygiene products are commonly used too but I have no need for
them just as with WEENDOZE.  OpenVMS, MacOSX and Linux do everything I
need, and, for the most part, even handle the Mickey$oft stuff people
insist on sending me.  I never touched a WEENDOZE system until around
Y2K when doing a consulting stint with a large confectionary company.
They used them as terminal emulator to VMS.  I hated the IBM keyboard, 
so I purchased an LK250 keyboard to do the VMS work.  My VMS Bootcamp
presentations were done with Keynote and looked, as many commented, 
very well done and more professional than Powerpuke.  I'm typing this
from an Android tablet with Juice SSH.  It's configured with hostkey
authentication too.  I would not know where to start, nor do I care,
to establish SSH with WEENDOZE.  I avoid products that tie themselves
to WEENDOZE too as one of my altimeters has.  I have meen promised a
Linux or OSX app to download its flight data by its manufacturer but
that's been an unfulfilled promise to date.  The library is available
for the chance occasion I fly it again.  Android is far from ideal as
many simple tasks are overly complicated by its GUI interface but it
was fairly easy to pick it up and use.  It's also much more portable
than my laptops.

That said, Excel got it wrong.  The spreadsheets I write out display
properly with Numbers, LibreOffice, Gnumeric and even an app called
Shheets on my Android tablet.  So, please tell me again. why should I
use WEENDOZE?
