I started using usenet around 1994.

I don't like the ribbons either, but I I've learned to tolerate them. Unfortunately, Microsoft often tries impose its new way of doing things on people without giving them a choice. If I were in charge of Microsoft, even if I personally liked ribbons, I would not have imposed it on everyone using Office, but just made it a choice. The same with where Microsoft positions the cursor in its e-mail programs; they should have made it a choice -- Ken
