We continue to receive very negative comments about AT&T Worldnet from folks who fired them for the same reason.

Comment:
Since 1973 computer I/O [Holorith cards, Basic, Fortran, CPM, DOS, DR Dos, Windows – Honeywell Series 60 (Level 66) Systems, XT's, AT's etc.] has become a component of my environment. Over these past ten years we've had a 286, 486DX, several Pentiums chips and now an MMX. In the same period of time we have a shelf full of extinct "stand alone" operating systems, e.g., Dos 3, 5, 6.1, Windows, Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and, very soon, Windows 98.
There does seem to be, relatively, fewer hassles per KB today.
One would think the government had enough to do fixing (rather than generating more of) itself, instead of breaking up something that works.
Microsoft products work for me. They are compatible with each other and the associated Internet pages are very informative.
Maybe moving their corporate flag pole one-hundred miles to the north would stop the insanity.
However, I do not appreciate the pace and the associated cost of constantly upgrading hardware and software.
"They" (the computer industry in general) certainly know how to entice the spoiled child in me....
