RE: [WDSCI-L] Happy New Year!

i wondered about that, too. Maybe he means, get it OUT of Windows?

BTW, the 30 years War was touched off by what is called the Defenestration 
of Prague (1618). A couple vice-regents of the Austrian emperor were thrown 
out a window in the castle in Prague, over an issue of religious freedom. 
Britannica says they were not severely injured (the first such action in 
the 1400s had a number of people thrown onto some sharp spikes). That is a 
nice way of saying it - one source says they were thrown into a ditch, 
another that they were thrown into a pile of garbage, mostly straw, that 
had collected in the moat. But where did used straw come from, eh?

So this looks like a Czech tradition - what's your heritage, Joe?
