.. lots of trimmage...
I do bash:
Apple fanboys: the products they worship are overpriced sh*t
MS windows fanboys: think there stuff is the best thing since sliced bread
I have be a member of both groups,
I have seen the light (and no I am not a linux/ubuntu fanboy[1])
I am a quad-platform user (ubuntu/linux/android, amigaOS, MS DOS[2],
Windows)
I have to ask: Why? What makes it worth the time you spend on it?
What purpose does it serve except to expose your bigotry?
As it happens, I don't think I've ever actually run across anyone who thinks
MS stuff is the best thing since sliced bread, but there's no shortage of
*nix users who believe their stuff is...
PS: why cant you scroll down to the bottom of the
message and type there?
I think if you put on your glasses and/or improved your reading skills
somewhat you'd see that I did exactly that (although I happen to think it's
a pointless and cumbersome relic of the golden days of Usenet glory...)
And why can't you learn the difference between 'there' and 'their' and
how
to use an apostrophe?
;-D
[1] I do have some ubuntu fanboy aspects to me, but
its only to sate there
is alternative operating system that dose not cost an arm and a leg

I think, for some of us it's a hard habit to break and they would like other
to follow the same Netiquette rules

I am trying to remove my bigotry thinking, but its hard when you have other
bigotry thinkers around
As it happens, I don't think I've ever actually run across anyone who
thinks
MS stuff is the best thing since sliced bread,
I have not seen them in-person in
the real world, ether (I hope)
but there's no shortage of
*nix users who believe their stuff is...
I have half-a-foot in this camp while I
wait for something better.....
Currently ubuntu dose the job I use it for
