Things are not that bad nowdays, also, most interoperability problems with Microsoft file formats and OSs are solved. As for myself, I won't write an article in vi[m], but not in Word either, I've found myself very comfortable using Lyx and, sometimes, StarOffice. On the anecdote side, my first half-time job some years ago was on tech support of a well known 3D program. I already knew Unix at the time, but didn't know anything about NT, which took me very little time to learn. The guy who interviewed me considered it more important that I already knew Unix than the fact that I didn't know Windows. I've never worked with Windows boxen again since I've left that job, and haven't used it for years, actually, but I agree that knowledge is power, even when you can get MCSEs for a dime a dozen :) When you look at someone with a unix background using Windows and then look at another person who learned about computers with Win, you see they tend to things pretty different, most of the Unix people have cygwin or u/win installed for when you miss a decent commandline :) Cheers, --=20 Miguel Mendez - flynn@energyhq.homeip.net GPG Public Key :: http://energyhq.homeip.net/files/pubkey.txt EnergyHQ :: http://www.energyhq.tk FreeBSD - The power to serve! --7AUc2qLy4jB3hD7Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8+MjKnLctrNyFFPERAqXZAKCBCXVXWTertWNynzRqjckERJuJEACfYPi0 AgDjOkymBC3C5YhOJdq+jbQ= =iwzm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7AUc2qLy4jB3hD7Z-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
