Didn't you understand yet that new-fashioned "Network Computers" ans old
true X terminals - it's essentially almost the same?

Which was listed in the press (Jerusalem post?) as "www.://idf. il" if I
remember correctly. Seems no single clue in entire newspaper food chain,
from editors to correctors?

Well, they state clearly: this page is readable on with "hebrew-enabled
operation system". The only system that bears this title is Microsoft
Windows 95 Hebrew Enabled. I think, if in the US some state or
governmental body had issued vital information with disclaimer "this
infomation can be read only with XXX operation system, XXX browser, XXX
version", etc. - living hell would arise. In Israel, it seems anyone can
pull such tricks... We have too many other troubles to bother us to
care for equal rights here...
By the way - I saw (Edioth?) article with BG-3 of Borg, bashing software
piracy in Israel. Does this man recognise that he is trying to dig his own
grave? If anyone would have to pay for word, how many would remember about
existance of Qtext, Dagesh, or even Einstein? Or would think of changing
OS...

I try to imagine to myself, what speed would Word achieve with this setup.
If it succeeds to slow Pentium down to its knees, running locally...
