You could, but as usual, you're full of shit. The Psion does have a Linux
port, and most of the ones you mentioned don't exist outside of museums
any more. Are there any Cray I's actually running anymore?

Competion is good. That's why the monoply crapware is shite.

still less than 1/10 of the numbers.

I don't think so. There's a thread on comp.arch about it.

This is absolutely true!
The #1 complaint from Loosesters is that Linux files are HARD
to edit and HARD to understand... Oh what a pain,,, bo-ho-bo-ho!
Try Regedit. 20,000 year old hyragliphics make more sense.
And you have to re-boot to see the effect of any change in the
registry. Another SUCK feature of Windows.

Got a link? Last I used NT, it wouldn't qualify with a floppy or network
card. I can get access to other users and copy their files. I don't
think Linux by itself would qualify either. The user-group-other access
mechanism isn't sufficient.

Nice to see that all is well in Fantasy Island. These are bold predictions

Sorry Aaron,
That was while we stil had a conscript army. It was the VVDM
(Union of Conscripted Personnel) that pushed this through.
Unfortunately for your argument we abandoned conscription a
couple of years ago, and we now have a fully professional army.
Crewcuts are still not mandatory, but hair is now not supposed to
go beneath the ears I believe.
I agree it was a bit silly though, long haired soldiers. Also it
must be said that apart from the unfortunate Srebrenica incident,
the Royal Dutch Armed Forces and it's various services have
performed well in the field, despite their liberal and informal
regulations.
I'll shut up now before I wander further Off-Topic,
Mart

Most commercial Unices qualify.
As soon as Ext3 comes out (with ACL's), it will qualify also.
