>> However, John, the path taken to the future might be wrong! <<
I can appreciate your concerns Judy, but I think your apprehension is a little
premature. Realistically the Yost Group is taking the logical step to maintain
its market position. So in that sense it is absolutely the correct course to
take. Unlike the jist of your misapprehension, I don't think DOS is going to
die in one fell swoop, realistically there has to be a transition as not all
apps have been ported to NT. But the writing is on the wall, and I am _really_
glad that they made the decision to go to NT instead of say Win95, which is
just another stop-gap before DOS's ultimate demise.
As Gary has often said, "you're gonna have to trust me on this one". And I do
trust that he is going to do the right thing to the best that he and his team
are able. I think down the road, you'll realise why people like David are so
vocally supportive, its because that trust has been maintained over the long
haul.
So hang in there Judy, not to worry, O.K.? 🙂
