that I class as real. The Mac O/S's, TOPS20, the flavours of BSD, the

managed to get hold of a copy. Even Xenix qualifies, so it isn't just
non-Micro$oft!
One of the fundamental things to qualify as a real O/S is the ability to
back itself up without fear or doubt, producing restore media that can return
the system to the exact point of the restore without further intervention.
Install media should only be required for licence verification if that.

I love corporate boilerplate sigs. So I'll poke some fun at Steria and
its ludicrous corporate chest-thumping, not Mike.

Bad news Steria Ltd. Once your server says RCPT TO: is ceases to be your
property, unless you have an arrangement to store your property on my server.
Now you are still protected by copyright but as for the rest, pure BS.

So Steria does know this is unenforceable nonsense. Steria doesn't have a
contract with me and is seeking to create one, despite the rest of the sig
claiming such. SPLORF! Why doesn't it get rid of it all and use an RFC
compliant sig then? (Six lines max). Cheers
