Jason, I read you loud and clear.
However, this article is a classic hatchet job - how many people, in
truth, will persevere to the end of an article?
Your opinion if formed in any article in the first paragraph - so he
sets the stage by discussing a situation many years in the past, and
your state of mind is set for the rest of the article. Even at the end
of the article he still sows that seed of doubt in your mind - Hey, a
single Microsoft note taking appllication does not run. Hey, use this
and your scanner might not work.
Classic FUD.
