the best way to piss off a linux dude who wakes up, updates his system, goes to work, updates everything that isn't locked down, and then sit's you in front of a "good box" ... is to say every two minutes "how do i get rid of this gargoyle". was a funny day ... i showed him how the mouse didn't work very well (only under cpu load - it went left to right fine but going up or down was hard work - the secretary went out and bought a new mouse, which did the same. anyway, in the wait i got me a VNC connnection to club birriga and downloaded 9wm and sam, which behaved perfectly.
i sammed(?) the code heavily, and he asks "what version of emacs is that?"; guess again human. i was polite and said "it's an old editor i like to use". and of course ... "how do i view this bitmap? xview doesn't like it ... should i try gimp?" "oh, don't use gimp, you'll have to wait." and it goes down from there. plan9 to a developer is total unrestrained productivity. oh shit, it doesn't have gargoyles or good porn viewers. sorry, write them - they easy. brucee On 3/7/07, Vester Thacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Well, I apologize for offending you. But what ideas are you suggesting that we migrate toward? Transplant the MacOS X interface to Plan 9 perhaps? ;-) Regards, Vester
