To tell you the truth, if Bill Gates had stayed home and Linus Torvalds
had never been born, we would have been even better off. I'm using Linux
right now, so I have Linus to thank. But then, I'm using a crappy Compaq
laptop which would never have been made (or made but not this crappy) if
not for Bill Gates. Linux is a solution to a problem that should not have
come about in the first place. I'd much rather be using some version of
the Dynabook, or an Amiga, or something totally different.
