Holy Smoke you were right!!!!

I thought the Tailhook scandal and a few certain politicians were ruining

Had a good time in the service (statement made in retrospect of course) but
glad to be out.

I guess if Windoze failed a big ship like those, you might have a BIG crash
on your hands!!!

What's next - commercial airliners running Windoze?
