Comments:
<0> write to the editor of that series, Quisus
<1> both have ended
<2> might be a bit late now...
<0> they'll listen to you - you're the saviour after all!
<0> lol
<1> i'm too much of a geek to do anything
<1> heh
<0> i got started in linux about four months after i started in windoze
<0> so i wasn't brainwashed as yet when i discovered linux
<2> w00t
<1> me too
<0> pnm: :P
<0> you, too, Quisus
<0> :P
<0> some of us aren't so lucky
<1> well, i was using win31 and predominately dos at the time
<3> Hrm.
<1> i had a first contact with linux in 92
<1> and full install in 95 when i got a copmuter
<1> my own
<1> Ferret got any gum?
<3> Hahaha. :)
<1> lol
<1> rofl
<0> what did the computer have? a 3 gig hd, 32 mb of ram, and 233 mhz of speed?
<1> umm
<0> heh
<3> You have to be kidding.
<3> 3 gb hdd?
<3> Waay too big.
<1> leading edge, 8m, 386-16mhz, couple hundred meg hd, 1 flop
<1> 14.4 modem
<0> wow, Ferret was right! i was being too optimistic, lol
<4> and paid 3k for that quiz?
<1> nah, it was a floor model, 100$
<1> beat up model
<4> :)
<1> but i didnt care
<1> it just had to work well, and that it did
<4> :)
<1> cdrom iirc
<4> Thats aweesome, and not bad
<5> Linux in 92? Must've been pretty infant back then
<1> yea, and nc killed dosfs with about a 100 copies of root at the wrong dir-point
<1> it was amazing to watch the replicaiton shadows grow
<1> i called ms, they had no idea what i was talkin about
<4> norton commander?
<1> yea
<5> ms never knows what anyone is talking about ;)
<1> that was my one first and last call to them
<1> brb
<4> ms never knows what its talking about either.
<5> I had called them a few times,
<1> how could Bill mis the internet by ~10-15 years?
<5> I had a guy actually tell me about his life in india
<6> ms started everything
<4> no
<6> and they make the most money in the computer market so can't hate :P
<4> They just filled IBM's request for a desktop os, IBM started it.
<5> wow you are so so wrong
<4> Atleast as a desktop
<6> heh..................
<7> gn8@all
<4> nite dma
<6> IBM wanted to start something
<8> nate?
<5> Microsoft ended up killing OS/2 and from there it went uphill
<0> fee fie fo fum, i smell a troll in this channel
<5> No, Wizz_Kidd is just a idiot
<6> lol ...............
<0> there is a troll in here for sure!
<4> thinks also
<6> no listen all im saying is jus casue this is a linux channel dont hate or make yourself belvie oh m$ is an awful company etc etc
<8> Wizz_Kidd: I believe that regardless of what channels I'm in.
<4> Okm, read thier licesning agreements and look at their buisness pratices, and tell me they aren't
<6> without them i dont even think linux would be here .......
<8> Entering a linux channel doesn't suddenly alter my perception
<6> Same
<5> Wizz_Kidd, they aren't a awful company, Bill has some great business skills no doubt, I even have some shares myself
<0> i will give M$ one thing - they helped bring computing to the m***es, but that's about all i will give them
<6> Linux will never compete on a MS level
<9> that is what bil's dream was as announced in the 80s
<8> Wizz_Kidd: Seeing as Linux was starting while windows was still a shell over dos..
<5> Wizz_Kidd, they already do
<9> we dont have to compete with ms
<0> M$ didn't 'invent' anything - they got all their ideas from *nix
<5> Microsoft already considers *nix a threat
<8> Wizz_Kidd: And I agree that Microsoft has been a strong catalyst for motivating non-microsoft platforms.
<9> we only need to tell ms users that linux is
<9> free
<4> s/was/were/
<8> The hatred is what's driving the competition.
<6> They really dont compete linux is far from computer friendly to the average joe
<8> So, go MS!
<5> Wizz_Kidd, The server market
<5> Not desktops of course
<6> i am speaking of home desktops
<0> Wizz_Kidd: you silly rabbit! windoze is for desktops!
<8> Wizz_Kidd: OS-X is proof that Unix can be user friendly
<10> lol
<4> actually lo_tek dos was bought from some other programmers iirc
<0> that's all windoze has
<8> Moreso than Windows
<5> *nix, imo was never intended to be used for desktops
<8> In fact OS-X is down right retardedly easy
<8> Well your opnion is wrong. The facts contradict it
<6> only thing that made os x was aqua
<8> !? o k
<8> You obviously don't use os-x
<8> And are just speaking off what little you've read
<6> i do
<6> i have a g4 powerbook
<5> Jabberwock, I have OSX dual booting on my lappy ;)
<0> ooooo, a G4
<6> ???
<9> Jabberwock did the ddP work?
<0> i have absolutely no interest in apple
<5> 10.4.5 x86
<6> i want a MacBook
<0> if apple were supplanted by m$ in the past, apple would be the big bad proprietory gorilla on the block
<8> I have no interest either. I'm sitting next to a dual 64bit g5 and it's unplugged
<8> I'd rather be in windows
<0> wait a minute! i got that backwards: if m$ were supplanted by apple, excuse me
<6> i jus use Linux with KDE
<6> and wine when I have to everyting works fine
<8> and now that macs are all becoming intel based and there is already Windows XP for mac, wtf..
<8> Why even bother spending an extra 1.5k on a mac
<0> lol, Jabberwock
<11> thank+
<0> i agree, a waste of time
<5> Jabberwock, not sure if you were saying my opinion was wrong, but *nix is far better suited for servers than windows, just like windows is better suited for desktops
<5> IMO of course ;)
<8> Shrew: You said in your opinion *nix was never intended for desktop use
<5> Yup
<8> That may have been true 25 years ago.
<0> "intended" being the key word
<5> lo_tek, exactly
<8> lo_tek: Well at some point it did :)
<8> Obviously
<8> because people do use it for desktop usage, even for graphics/audio
<8> So at some point the intention did focus on desktop use
<0> but my *nix desktop is grrrrrrEAT!
<8> So 'never intended' is wrong
<0> a tiger in my *nix desktop
<5> I just don't consider OSX to be unix
<8> It is though. It's based on 4.4BSD
<0> but it is, Shrew
