Re: Mozilla/Firefox 1.5 is excellent!. Much better than IE...

Actually Linux has come a long way and so has operating systems like Free BSD. BSD is the true decedent of of that 40 year old operating you so despise. Even Steve Jobs threw in the towel and decided to go with a variant of this so called 40 year old piece of junk. Everyone from Sun MicroSystems, SGI, IBM, Apple which I just mentioned, and so many others run a version of Unix or Linux, but they don't run Windows. I guess you could call them my former employer now, is a Bill Gates believer. Over the past couple of years parts of our network, or the entire network was put out of commission by viruses, malware, and other types of wares. Meanwhile a friend of mine whose company uses a Unix back-end (based on that 40 year old piece of junk) didn't lose their network once because of outside attacks. So there you go.

You run Linux: A knock-off of a 40-year old operating system originally developed by a money-losing division of the local telephone company and whose command line interface was designed by those who felt DOS commands line were not cryptic enough. Bah!

Snap your suspenders, stroke your beard, and play in another sandbox. The grown-ups use this one.
