Whats so >appealing about a dumbass OS? And you are...? (Thank you for obscuring your name, Mr. --@--.0101. You are truly 3l33t.) And this is concerning...? And you are trying to prove...? Unlike a lot of other machines, I can count at least nine operating systems that you can run on an IBM-clone. And believe it or not, not all of them are "dumbass." What's even more shocking about IBM clones is that even though I know they're far from perfect, I have had very little trouble getting my work done with them. Although they are good for games, they're actually good for a lot of other things too. (Heaven forbid.) Perhaps you need a change in perspective. There are other machines out there besides IBM's and Macs, you know. -- Tony Monroe, in a nice white wine sauce with couscous tmonroe@csua.berkeley.edu ObURL: http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~tmonroe Chief Squid, Tony's SquidWarez Incorporated Proprietor of Dingbat Wizwarp's Transmutation Tavern and Alteration Apothecary
