Hello everybody.

1. PDF is the industrial standard. As long as it works. It is OK. You do not 
throw away metric bolts only because it is an old standard.

2. Pseudomodernity is good in sellinq and marketing business,. In most cases 
only there.

3. Not everybody uses MS Windows.

4. Not everybody uses new printers and wants to change his/her printer because 
Bill Gates wants him/her to do it.

5. I do not know whether you you are paid by Microsoft or not, but it seems 
like that.
