    The Communist government was supposed to wither to nothing once the 
People's Paradise was established.

    The labors unions are supposed to retreat to a watchdog status once 
the injustices of corporations are corrected.

    It is in human nature that people want to hold on to their jobs 
(power) even after the task is completed.

    I froze my Microsoft adventure at Windows 98.  Many versions of the 
3 programs I run on it have been produced since, most of them for later 
systems only.  I still can't find a single feature that they added in 7 
years that I really need.

    Keep copies of your current and old distributions!  We may have 99% 
of whatever good operating system software will ever be produced.
