Thanks for the smile, and a chuckle here and there. Always good to see a humorous response to an honest observation.

Glorified Terminals have their places as well in the computer world, I must admit. Nice to know the Atari 2600’s of the computer world are still finding some useage out there.

Then again, I could always dig up that old 486DX4-120 and do more than simple terminal work and PrintShop functions.

*grin*

I am no MS fanboi either, as I prefer Linux (*cough* OS-10 is a ‘nix derivative *cough*) but the ‘doze people always seem to be the Calm Conservatives of the computer world, while the macophiles always seem to be the Ferguson Rioters instead.

Make one disparaging remark about their Holy OS and the spittle-flying rage is a hilarious thing to see.

Makes for an interesting evening now and again. *laugh*

Yeah, I'm mainly a Unix-head myself, though I have a foot in each camp: Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac... and a few minor ones. I have many feet. I love 'em all and I hate 'em all, depending...

Don't know if you heard, I started up an FR Windows Ping List, for technical topics regarding Windows of all editions including Server, and related topics like WinPhone and the Surface slabs. Welcome to join if you want, lemme know. (I think Swordmaker will forgive me for plugging the WPL on one of his threads.)

> we will have to disagree about the More Cowbell beliefs

No problem. Agreeing to disagree is one of the hallmarks of an intelligent exchange. :)

Too bad there was not one iota of honesty in any of your postings for DayGloRed's humor to be applied to.

You mistake subtle ridicule directed at you for humor shared with you.
