PrinceGaz, I don't know if you're being serious or not about users having "rocks in their head" if they use any other "pretend" computer--namely those that don't use Microsoft Windows--but, serious or not, it's really starting to bother me. I know I could skip your posts (as I receive the digest edition), but your seemingly uneducated bashing of alternative operating systems is waaaay off topic, despite any comments concerning ES gear or whatever MD-related comment that may be. Use what you like, but don't criticize those who may prefer MacOS or BeOS. Another thing that tends to grate on me is the fact that you keep referring to Bill Gates as "God." I'm not gonna try and cram any religous foo down your throat, but I hardly think Gates deserves that much respect. When it comes right down to it he's a dork that has an uncanny ability to market poorly written software to the majority of computer users. Quite remarkable, though his business ethics make me want to vomit and take a shower. I don't mind off topic posts in moderation, but this is ridiculous. I see enough annoying Microsoft propaganda everyday at the office, and I could do without someone advocating MS fud on a minidisc mailing list. If you'd like to heed my request, thanks. If not, that's fine too. And if you want to flame me, please email me personally as I don't want to clutter the list with more off topic mails. Sincerely, Taylor >>>>>> Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 18:01:33 +0100 From: "PrinceGaz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: MD: Sharp MD-MS702 newbie Rather than fuel the ES fire, I'll be more sensible and say anyone who uses a Mac, Acorn series computer, or any other pretend home computer have just as many rocks in their head as Linux or BeOS fools who at least had the good sense to get a PC originally but went on to fill their HDs with c**p. The jury is still out here on OS/2, I am very sad that v3 (Warp 3) flopped but God's marketing machine hit it with a lightning bolt and what may have become a much better home PC OS vanished into obscurity :-( I think it's far too late for OS/2 to make a fight against the next Win 9x, apparently codenamed "Windows Millenium" according to the online MS news. And I thought it might be called "Windows Zero" :-P FYI- God= Bill Gates (MicroSoft) >>>>>> ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
