Re: [newbie] Forbes can *@$ my *#$
No kidding. Did you this this filth? NEW YORK - Judging from the holy war being waged by proponents of Linux PCs, it's clear that Linux is becoming the OS/2 of its time. What planet is this silly moron from? To be sure, computer users have been tempted to smash their Windows PCs to bits. After all, freeze-ups, shutdowns and fatal errors are still an all-too-frequent part of the everyday computing experience. And because Microsoft tends to take a kitchen-sink approach to software development, most users pay for features they will never use or don't even know exist. But, for most, it's better than the Linux alternative. Oy. http://www.forbes.com/home/2003/06/17/cx_ld_0617linux.html Miark On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 09:18:30 -0400 JoeHill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.forbes.com/2003/06/18/cz_dl_0618linux.html Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
