"I think it's something absolutely required! We have hundreds of distros, and a lot of them are really for niche markets." Never though of it that way. |

CP, How many times do I have to tell you not to listen to Linus? He's confused, he just abandoned KDE on a whim, before that Gnome, before that Unix (just because he could not afford it) and what about that little OS (mini something) he dropped that just before turning his attention to Linux? I tell you Linus is behind the curve, whereas everyone knows the big threat to Linux is Windows 7 (in all its variations to cover the market). It is long past time for the Linux people to be screwing with distributions that just confuse our potential market. We need a bizillion dollar marketing plan to win this war now, finally or Linux is gone dead, lost its chance, will be forgotten (with the exception of that piddiling few hundred million [and growing] users). It's now or never the jerkojournalists are telling us. We must act now enmass, there is no choice, dump the distribution crap. MS knows it has us where it wants us, look why else are they giving away Windows? To stop all those poor people for seeing what junk Linux really is. They know they must protect the public from choice and confusing freedom, by staying with Windows peole know their place and can be spied upon with minimal effort. All to keep us safe. Linux, it's so over ... Now that you are properly chastened ... what did Linux really say? YBT |

TEM: How long have you worked at Apple? |

CP, I worked on an Apple many times, but unlike some i tend not to eat the core. Just can't get by the seeds, hard stuff and the stem. Sensitive digestive track I guess. Oh, how long do I work on an Apple? I guess a few minutes here and there, because I do not oxidized surfaces, I tend to finish them off rapidly. YBT |

Txt - Wanted to pass along this message from Toadie, the Billionaire's main gofer over at Redmondware: Welcome home, brother. I'd been worried about you, spending all of that time dicking around with the penguin people. My old buddy, the pizza man, suggested that you had become a hard-core herring head. So glad to see you haven't lost all reason. BTW -- I may be able to help you with that billion dollar campaign. The Billionaire has been really busy lately, and that means lots of stuff falling into the sofa cushions -- all mine now!! I do have one small favor to ask. I've been having a terrible time with my @#!!%! notebook lately. Viruses, malware, and worms, oh my!!! Was wondering if you can make Ubuntu or one of those hat or lizard things look like Windows 7? Would help me out a lot. Later, bro' Toadie |
