is doubtless losing lots of sleep over the possibility that he might lose such a big market.

Tecumseh said...: I'm with Hugo on this -- even a broken clock is right twice a day. Who needs Windoze, anyhow?; 3/29/2006 8:06 PM
Mr roT said...: Nice jacket, Tecumseh. Does it bear the Union Label?

You guys be nice to MS. Remember they pay their taxes and Linux doesn't.; 3/29/2006 8:13 PM
The Darkroom said...: what is your point jj ? no matter how poor an OS windoze is, as long as MS is paying taxes i should ditch my linux box ?; 3/29/2006 9:01 PM
Mr roT said...: Pepe,
I didn't go that far. Just sayin that between Hugo and Gates, I'll take the ADD guy over the FARC-supporting paratrooper anytime.
You?; 3/29/2006 9:26 PM
The Darkroom said...: don't personalize this: this is not about chavez vs gates. it's about free access to quality technology vs the expensive and buggy standard. i'm with anything that offers a (viable) alternative.; 3/29/2006 9:38 PM
Tecumseh said...: This is a false dichotomy you set up, Mr. Straman! One can go with a company that does pay taxes, and also makes a good product, viz, Apple. You know that as well as I do.; 3/29/2006 9:40 PM
Tecumseh said...: Come to think of it, JJ, maybe you should explain to everyone the origin of the moniker, Mr Straman. Care to give it a shot, or is it self-explanatory?; 3/29/2006 9:43 PM
The Darkroom said...: i would expect that a die-hard conservative consistent with his ideology relish the sweet sound of the monopoly breaking apart under the forces of the almighty market.; 3/29/2006 9:44 PM
Tecumseh said...: Sounds good to me -- invisble hand, and all that jazz.; 3/29/2006 9:59 PM
