Meanwhile, my Linux servers just run happily in their closet in the guest bedroom.

Oh yeah, LUNIX is great as long as you never have to use it. It's when you want to do things like edit photos or process words. Then you have to know that Photoshop is called GIMP and Word for LUNIX is called Painful Rectal Itch.

I think the LUNIX geeks write the spyware and viruses so they can boast about how great LUNIX is and feel good that they belong to an exclusive club when they can't find any D&D players in the neighborhood. Otherwise, there's no reason for LUNIX to be so mind bendingly stupid.

I mean, when it first came out, yeah, it had to be mind bendingly stupid because they didn't have more then two bits of memory back then, but now it's a million years later so the only reason must be anti-social geek angle.

Well, at least it keeps them from the World Domination Plots James Bond used to have to break up in the 1960's.

Speaking of movie plot devices, I think my favorite version of UNIX ever is the one they used in Jurassic Park.

Well, apparently playing games is the focal point of your life. When you get ready to do some real work, I suppose you can buy something for your X-Box.
