Re: Another Potential Slave... I mean Programmer

Hehe. I meant to say that sound quality from esound is not as clear as artsd.
The best way to notice that is trying to play stereo sound. E.g. Real Player
is very noticable (even in monoaural). Sorry for the confusion, Lee.

Re: Lindows screenshots

[Derek J Witt]

Yeah, M$ is claiming that they got -indows as a registered trademark.
But, they tried to register "Windows" (by itself) as a registered
trademark a few years back. But they got turned down because the word
"windows" is a common English word.   They cannot register word suffices
as registered trademarks IMO.

Personally, who is going to confuse between "Windows" and "Lindows?"  If
one isn't paying attention, they may sound similar, but in print, they are
unmistakingly different.

It's  yet another abuse of their monopoly status. Just my two cents worth.
