And then there's that:
 "Most network programs running today on Linux, Unix, and OS X still use
 nothing but the plain old BSD Sockets API. Viewed that way, even

I would have laughed, if it wouldn't be so sad. Last time I had to do
with Winsock (yesterday, I think) it was still an ugly, UGLY mess
compared to the BSD socket API.
