If anyone comes along and talks about how they replaced Microsoft with any
Linux based solution in the real world
like, say, if their parents now use Linux instead of Windows XP
or there are any businesses that use Linux instead of Windows
NT/IIS/whatever
claim they made the story up.
Yup, that'll shut 'em up. Everyone will believe you.

What's the matter you couldn't figure out how to install it?

You blasphemer! Bill Gates is muh hero!
C'mon. Seriously. I was making a parody of Windows evangelists and their
weak pathetic counter arguments. It seems every time someone shows Linux
can upstate Windows, some wintroll comes along and says "Oh that's a
fabrication!!" It's almost droidlike at times.
Windroids are more tenacious than paid marketers. And WHY?? They know their
OS is inferior, second rate, and plagiarized from the ground up. Are these
people getting some kind of payback in the mail or what?

Then for the rest... figure it out with the new Home Land
Security. Think it's a * theory?? Ask Hilliary.
She knows all about * theories.

Just think about this - if you want to use an operating system for
telephone exchange, router, satellite control or fly by wire, safety
critical systems or flight navigation would you be happy if it were
a M$ OS, I think not! .............. Al

Or do you think your family sedan should be able to take people in
outer space? It is, after all, a vehicle, just as the space shuttle is
a vehicle.

A guy I know is planning on installing MS Windows on his 486/66 with
240M disk and 8M RAM. Please help me to persuade him against that waste
of clockcycles! (no offense to people who like Windows...)
Since he's running 8M of RAM, he could run X, right? Is there any good
software for word processing equatable to WP or word for Windows available
for X that will work with Linux? How 'bout other applications? He's not
a computer scientist, so I'm hesitant to lead him toward unix, but I
think X-windows might be just the key.
Anybody care to suggest how I might be able to talk him into using linux
vs. DOS or Windows? Please mail & I can summarize if there is interest
(or you can post if you think others would benefit). I know this is a bit
of personal preferance and so-on, but I'd appreciate any attempts to help
out! Thanks in advance.

4. what explains Kadaitcha Man ?
5. argument parser strips out " in arguments
7. script questions - passing argument as argument to another program
8. turning "LinuxPPC_2000_Lite.hfs.image" into a bootable CD
9. newbie: (command and its arguments) as a sh script argument
10. Taking arguments from pipe 'plus' one more argument
11. pushd <no arguments> versus cd <no arguments>
13. one argument to end the whole linux vs. windows debate
