Is this a racial remark or are you trying to be funny? If this is a racial remark then wake up Mr Howard. We left behind the world you live in long, long time ago (ask your parents or grandparents about the 1950's).
If you think this is a funny remark then you don't know what funny means. Instead of "arousing or provoking laughter" your words inflict pain and anguish on the people you ridicule (ever heard about dignity, respect, self-esteem). I hope you agree with me that slug is a technical forum not created for posting offensive remarks. Maybe slug should demand an apology from you and then ban you for three months as a favour to shake you out of your ignorance. --- Howard Lowndes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > elliott-brennan wrote: > > The SMH had some very exciting news today. > > > > > http://www.smh.com.au/news/laptops--desktops/australia-trials-low-cost-laptop/2007/01/12/1168105153500.html > > > > > > > The OLPC are looking at trialling the laptops in > remote indigenous > > communities. > > Are the plastics petrol proof? > > > -- > Howard. > LANNet Computing Associates - Your Linux people > <http://lannetlinux.com> > When you want a computer system that works, just > choose Linux; > When you want a computer system that works, just, > choose Microsoft. > -- > Flatter government, not fatter government; abolish > the Australian states. > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - > http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: > http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
