I hate them both. They both create overhead, resulting in larger than necessary files. And PDF files never print correctly. Rotten product - Adobe should be ashamed... Powerpoint can be forgiven - it's young yet, and still learning... "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

I have to admit that it is an elegant solution to the multitasking problem. I've used CP/M, DOS, and a few OSs I had to write myself, and Windows is probably the best solution to an unsolvable problem I've seen. I still hate it, because it is so unreliable. But at the same time, I admire it for its ability to give me true multi-tasking capability that none of its predecesors could offer. Another excellent idea, poorly implemented... The world's full of them... "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

I've used Jakarta Tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/) and found it to be quite stable, unless you misconfigure it, or are dumb enough to get a beta and attempt to use it in a production atmosphere. :-)

I've never worked with it, so I can't hold a valid opinion... Was it any good? "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

email me a Powerpoint or PDF file and I will abuse you also. It isn't designed to be a web document, but morons insist on using it that way. Regardz Colin J Davies

The web wasn't designed as virus exchange and pron pic storage device, either. But if some technology goes successful, we have to accept that people use it for what they like and don't care about the clueless whiners who gave it to them.

No, it was trash. It just had a few neat features that made people get really rabid about it (think Amiga fans). -- Eric Move along, nothing to see here.

What is the most useless/worst commercial program you know of? After a poor performance in London in 1899, Steinitz went insane and died a year later on August 12, 1900 at Wards Island, N.Y.
Anything with the word Real at the start of the product name. Michael :-) "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot"

Hmm, was it any good will vary dependent on whom you ask. :-) I liked it. As for what it was... Hmm.. I'd say it was roughly equivilent to windows 98, back in the time that Microsoft was still stuck on Windows 3.1. Real multitasking, a real GUI, .. :-) Of course, the mileage of the answers people give you will vary. :-) damn, i :-O alot

Martin Marvinski asked: What is the most useless/worst commercial program you know of?
netsh.exein Windows 2000 (aka Win2k, aka NT5, aka ...). I've never, ever even heard about anyone even trying to use this seriously, even if they tried it once to see what it was. Another unusable program might belinkd.exethat was documented to be part of NT5 bot most definitely was nowhere to be found. That was pretty useless. But I must say the must useless program, even that it's not really just a program per se, must have to be the OS/2 subsystem in Windows NT (any NT, up to and including Windows XP). The POSIX subsystem must be on a similar scale of uselessability. -

I bought this game Gangsters from the bargin bin at Walmart. What a waste of time. I only played the thing for about 5 minutes and had no idea what was going on. There was just a proliferation of menus and buttons that didn't seem to affect the game in any way. So then I tried the "tutorial". Basically it just started a game for me. So I was like, "and?...." Maybe I could have taken more time to figure it out, but I have shelves full of games that you can get started with in the first 2 minutes with zero learning curve. I don't have time to jump through the hoops that bad game designs set up for you. For all you game designers out there. Try this one out as an example of how not to pull the player into the game world. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
