Spoken like a true Linux Zealot...

I deal with your type all the time. This is the same attitude they had BEFORE windows took over desktops for $trillions of dollars of revenue

Microsoft had better business acumen.

I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a Linux partisan. Unlike the majority of MS-Window zealots though, I actually have extensive experience with both, and haven’t formed my opinions from ignorance.

I’ve been running Linux since 1994-1995. I am not a “zealot”.

For my last 5-1/2 years with a company I moved data from AS400 to PC’s every day. And pushed the data back after processing. Part of my work was done in Windows and part in Redhat Linux. I needed both to get the job done.

I composed and published a 3,000+ page catalog plus supplements and indexes, huge seasonal promotion pieces and monthly specials. Database publishing.

The process was a total hack.

I also created the images for both print and the web.

Linux is incredibly powerful for batch processing images.

Linux is no longer a toy, it is a incredible work tool.

I am NOT NEW to this, I built my first PC in 1982.
