All, I've learned a lot over the past year from your mailings! I'm very new to programing with Perl and use the langauge to create productivity tools to help me get repetitive work completed. Tasks such as gathering & converting design metrics and automating WEB information become simplified with Perl scripts/programs. Last week, I became a pilot driver to move our engineering management to Windows NT from Mac-OS. I'm impressed and delighted with the new MicroSoft product and am surprised at how "Mac-like" it is! Compared to MAC-OS7.5.5, windows NT 4.0 IS A MUCH MORE STABLE PRODUCT! Using the same management-type applications my MAC has locked up its normal once every other day, while my Pentium PC has not (yet?) crashed. So while this is not a very robust investgation, I'm convinced.... There is one less MAC bigot in the world! Please "unsubscribe" me from mac-perl@iis.ee.ethz.ch. I'll be joining an equivalent list for NT. regards & good luck! harold miller +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Harold Miller - Engineering Manager | Phone: (512)432-8812 | | Tandem Computers Incorporated | Fax: (512)432-8840 | | 14231 Tandem Blvd | Beeper: (800)580-3054 | | Austin, TX. 78728 | hmiller@austx.tandem.com | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
