"first of all who is Bill Gates"

Ok this may sound stupid but who is Bill Gate, why does everyone hates, and all I know is that he made the Xbox I think that right?

Oh yeah, on the subject of this, I have MSN working again now, and it'd be nice if I could have a chat with you some time.



Ah, I love Linux. My servers's connection to SR has died, but with two quick clicks I can switch it to an NTL proxy I have aquired and all is well again!

I am, the latter.

well said, very nice, short but pointless.

Surely you know that clever business mastermind who makes that rubbish software Windows and promises "all the problems are fixed" when he releases new versions of that very same program?

The truth is, Gates knows that Windows is buggy. He makes it that way on purpose just to make you buy newer versions!

Well that's my opinion anyway...

If his car crashed as many times as Windows ME I think he'd be dead many many times over and over again.

Is this supposed to be a joke,
Although i wouldn't mind changing to linux, Macs just reming me too much of the blockiness of the Amiga and Commodor 64!!!

Fair enough, I don't want to be a linux zealot, it sucks at a lot of things - however, it does have games and mp3 support, and MSN is fine for me...that's just Rob being clueless ;).

Admittedly, it's a fairly daft idea to switch if you're in to multimedia/design, but there are a lot of people who could do worse than to try it, especially those who continue to complain about Bill Gates - why not explore the competition a bit?

Perhaps so, but all the stuff I want to run, runs exclusively on Windows. I've got 3D Studio Max up half the time, Turbo said he was having problems with MSN in Linux, so I wouldn't have communication... when I wanted to play a game or something, I'd have to switch back too, as far as I know, anyway.

I'm probably terribly terribly wrong, but I don't care, because I use my computer to click and make stuff, not faster faster, pussycat, kill kill. And play music. If I can play music, I'm fine.

Erm, cheaper, faster, more stable - why are you not already running linux? It's free, much faster (in my experience), and a lot more stable, desktop box up for weeks at a time without a reboot. What is it that puts people off it so much? You could always have a dual boot system to retain compatibility...or fall back to windows if it all goes horribly wrong...and it's a good learning experience.
