Snapshot of the moment

I was originally going to post with a rant asking Why why WHY is it that textbook authors seem to have the writing skills of a bad high school student.

In my COMP601 textbook is the phrase: "In today's computer systems, software is an increasingly critical component." ARRRGH.

And I don't think I've chosen a bad Master's program - when looking at other schools, they all seemed to have textbooks with similarly poor writing.

But then, I typed "jbailey" into my FF3 address bar, and it decided I really wanted jbaileyinc.com which has the heading: "Welcome to J Bailey Company, the Microsoft RMS experts!"

Microsoft RMS could be the only software package out of Redmond less popular than Microsoft Bob.

Wow, I don't even know what Microsoft RMS is!

I think it must be "Root Mean Square". It's the product that keeps them being only average. =)

Hmm, I think there might be a few other products that keeps them only average. ;-)

Yup. I've heard of Microsoft Bob, but RMS? No idea.
