Seriously? You want to talk about how Microsoft sucks? Nothing you've said is original or even entertaining. 1.) What the hell? Are you smoking something? I don't even know how to respond to that other than: clearly you think FreeBSD has no bugs. Awesome. 2.) Yeah. Because I can totally run KDE 4 on my AMD K6-2. mysql with sizable databases runs like a fiend on 256MB of RAM. With more complex software comes the need for better hardware. Next you're going to say that the gaming industry is a conspiracy. We should have just stuck with DOOM because everything else requires a better video card. 3.) Hint: It's the save option in the file menu. In vi, it's :w. Which of these is less intuitive? Did you just discover UNIX or something? Power to you for your enthusiasm, but bashing other operating systems with uninformed opinions just makes you look dumb. Still laughing about #1. -- randi
