You would have to show that to me. I know I paid 5 times as much US for a
vial of insulin in Ottowa as I do here. I know that a bottle of 25
Bufferin tablets in Ottowa cost me twice as many US dollars as they do
here.
In your opinion it is a good thing. How come the Minister of Health of
Canada came to the US for prostate cancer treatment? How come wealthy
people from around the world flock to the US for hospital care and not to
Canada? How come thousands or more Canadians come to the US every month
for health care for which they pay cash? They must not agree.

The added amount does not make up for it due to the higher cost of living
in constant currency of Canadians vs. the US. Remember, you cannot look
just a prices and convert. When one looks at the price of a TV set, for
example, a Canadian must pay an additional 17% or more VAT. If I buy a TV
in Delaware, I pay no sales tax. If I buy it in certain parts of New
Jersey I pay 3% in other parts 6%. In Pennsylvania it's 6% except in the
city of Philadelphia where it's 7%. In New York City, the highest in the
US it's 8.5%. The same is true of automobiles.
Take a Chrysler Neon which has a US list price of $10,000. In Canada,
where it is made BTW, it has a list comparable equipped of $14,400. If I
buy it here I pay 600 in sales tax. If I buy it in Toronto, I would have
to pay CDN $2,448 VAT which is equivalent to approximately $1,600 US
dollars.

I think youre into silly stuff.
If your company devided to standardise on a certain plaftorm (hardware +
software) then its not going to be costeffective to change platform no
matter how stable the diverging platform will be. You need the take in
account the retraining or hiring of new personel to take care of eventual
problems.
You cannot single handed do anything to change that and that is good so.
Its a bad idea to intruduce different platforms to serve specific taskes if
the same tasks can be made with the current platform.
However.. the current platform is now NT.. so a good idea would be to
analyze the costs involved in mantaining that platform.. im sure there are
plenty of them when a Micros~1 opereating system is involved. Another
thing is the pitfall of falling into Micros~1 controlled standards... you
will have a very difficult time to switch to something better latter..and
there is no guarantee they f.ex. old documents can be read by new
applications. Take standardisation on f.ex. Word as an example.
Present the current and future problems and introduce the solution (could
be Linux or another Unix or just open applications and standards)

You're a riot. You really believe a few dozen (or hundred) employees
can "make" an NT or Win2k compatible OS, just like that? How many of
those programmers *really* see *all* of the source code, among other
things? And how would they get the license to use that source code?
Or did you think they'd just memorize it and be able to regurgitate it
on demand for their future employer?

Actually, the phrase "national chain who assembled their own boxes"
sounds more like a retail store, like a Radio Shack of Sears. Though I
would suspect that in 1996, a national chain in Australia could be
considered a "small player" in comparison with major OEMs, which would
explain why they had a "no OS" option still available.
Does the same national chain still have a "no OS" option? I doubt it.

Uh, no - that's incorrect. The Gnome help browser allows you to access
all of the man pages and info pages as well as Gnome help. 'biff' is
there if you're really interested, as is anything else with a man page.
The KDE help system works exactly the same way - has the man pages,
info pages, KDE help. 'biff' is there too.
tkman is a third choice.

Some man pages are excellent and have tons of examples (the set
of pages on procmail for instance). Some could be better.
> > This will also allow for people to link man pages
KDE and Gnome help already do hyperlinking between man pages
('biff', for example hyperlinks to mail, csh, sh, and comsat).
If you want even more intense hyperlinking and search
capabilities, look at tkman - if you have 'glimpse' installed,
you can link to virtually any text file on your computer, and
it also provides a GUI for 'apropos', as well as a GUI interface
to all of the man pages with hyperlinks.
[snip]
In addition, there is a lot more documentation available for
specific programs. KDevelop has an excellent documentation
system built-in. Most programs have doc entries in well known
locations like the /usr/doc hierarchy or in their own
directories. The docs for things like Qt, gtk, Python,
etc. are excellent, for example (all hyperlinked html, too)
In addition my distribution (SuSE) has it's own html help
system, as well as a number of complete *books* on line,
plus all of the RFC's and LDP stuff like HOW-TO's.
Red Hat Power Tools used to include a searchable database
of all kinds of documentation, including archives of
comp.os.linux.setup and other resources.
Then you can look at what's available online through the
web or Usenet ...

"Brain Drain" problem had been hurting Canadian hi-tech
industries for one decade. Many US hi-tech companies
had built their success by stealing talents from Canadian
companies.
Enough is enough. It's time for the "Brain Drain" to flow back.
Welcome Microsoft to Canada!
BTW. Many of (even normal or poor) high-tech workers in Silicon
Valley can enjoy immediate or early retirement in Canada with your
existing gain from your stock options due to the low cost of living in
Canada . Take money and run! Why work restlessly for another
ten to twenty years just for serving your housing? A new single house
which costs Cdn$150K in Ottawa-Carleton region (Silicon Valley
North) will cost you US$400K in US Silicon Valley. With that price,
your US Silicon Valley houses don't even have basements, SIGH!
With that price, your US Silicon Valley hi-tech workers spend hours
per day on highways just to move yourself between your houses
and your workplaces, SIGH....Restless American Bees!...SIGH!

You didn't simply ask him to document that MS used UNIX in it's manufacturing

Yeah, many people, myself included, do have these kinds of problems.
That's probably why many people are searching for a new OS to run

No, you are talking about a "C2 Evaluated System" which is quite different
from a "C2 Certified System". C2 Evaluated means that the configuration
approximately matches that of a C2 Certified System. Only a complete
system, hardware and software (and in some of the higher ratings,
environment) can be certified.
You are correct in saying that you can take NT out of the box, put it on a
system similar to the Compaq models, and stand a reasonable chance of having
it certified. However, without the actual certification, it's only a C2
Evaluated system. It seems mainly an issue with semantics, though, since
there really isn't that big of a difference between Evaluated and Certified
when it comes to practical, not government work.
Not that any of this matters much, I'd trust a good security policy over any
government certification anyway.
