<< If you guys (and I mean more than the 2 persons, you and David, that have

As a wintel (preferred term) user for filemaker pro. I have begun getting
familiar with both platforms. I have only seen the word "Windoze" used in a
derogatory sense by mac users. I have grown a thicker skin to its usage as I
am a minority user on the lists. But it is not a term that I prefer to see
used by a group of professionals.

My 2½ cents on the subject.
