Absolutely John. Beside that, Glen did not write his message to find out if
he was entitled to his OWN opinion or not. Or to find out if his computer
was really modern or not. He had a very specific question. But Mr Knows it
all could not resist to subject us to his  grandiloquent and subjective and
irrelevant opinion. The Prima Donna had to sing despite the fact that her
voice was off key. Throw the rotten tomatoes.
