Re: [MiNT] funny one

Where I work, "Atari" isn't even a distant memory.  People just
blink and say "Really?  You are skilled enough to operate a
non-Microsoft OS?  Wow!  Would you show me how to format
a floppy?"

I don't DARE tell them GEM is easier and more intuitive than
Windoze ... I just let them think I'm ambidextrous, OS-wise.
