Check my headers. I don't use Windows. We need a website descerning all
the horrible truth about Windows, in extravagant detail.
I wish there was still some BBSes left in my area... probably is, but I
can't find them.

Rumor has it that Bruce Lane may have mentioned these
words:
I agree as well.
<SPLORRRFFF!!>
I concur wholeheartedly! For my part: They can have my PC's,
microcontrollers, servers,
and my network when they pry them from my rotting carcass. Seriously.
Yup. Preachin' to the choir here... ;-) Let me put it this way: Not only
'NO!' but 'FRELL, NO!!!'
And if we're pulling John Crichton quotes: "Bill Gates can't guarantee
Windows; how you gonna guarantee my safety?"
And no, I won't let M$, Google or anyone else store my data. Even if I
have to go back to my Tandy CoCo3 to being my main machine!
Google can store my pr0n. That's it. I don't mind that they'll probably
use their hands on things which are parts and not computer parts, but
damnit, I need more space for legitimate use.
And "they" are going to have to
do a LOT of forcing before I
would ever give up my right to run my own servers and domains. As long
as my ISP keeps my line up, I'll keep paying them to do so. Period.
If, further down the road, it turns out that I will need to
buy something more powerful than a DSL pipe to continue being
self-hosted, then so be it.
We're on the same wavelength yet again.... and I was thinking just
before I read this:
I ran a dialup FidoNet BBS for nearly ten years
I haven't, but I'd certainly start one to get the (or at least *a*) 'net
back to geek-only status... dammit, if ya don't wanna learn the
difference between a hard drive & a modem, you shouldn't be
telecommunicating. [[ In the car world: dammit, if ya don't wanna learn
the difference between a carburetor and a transmission, you shouldn't be
rebuilding engines! ]]
Cars are much akin to computers, I could start quoting similarties for
days on end. By the time I got done, I'd probably have mere seconds
before our expanding sun roasted my ass alive 5 billion years down the road.
I will NOT give it up without a fight!
Neither will I.
I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but maybe M$ & it's ilk
_are_ the "New World Order???"
Laterz,
