I'm not sure why I'm even discussing the benefits of one operating system over another with someone who can't even spell its name.

Interesting... In hundreds of consulting gigs, gaming never once has been a factor. How about that truthfulness? No really... Is gaming the reason why YOU keep a windows machine around (?), because not one of my machines has seen a game in at least five years nor do I know anyone who uses their computer for gaming. The handful of friends who like gaming use their xboxes and nintendos and segas (are those still around even?) > So, I say, if you want to play games and that is what drives > your choice, then say so and don't come up with all these > pretense arguments. But I also say that playing games is not > an activity that one should expect to get paid for. See what I was saying about those insults? Maybe you don't mean to be insulting, but maybe there's a language barrier or some general inability to understand the written word, and that's why you don't grasp the concept of need-driven choices? Many users have a valid NEED for Windows servers and clients... Some applications are only available on certain platforms, so that is what drives your choice. Just as graphic designers chose the Mac platform for a long time because certain applications were only available on the Mac. > > don't like it, don't use it, > > In fact I don't. > > > but don't insult the people who do. > > Who is the one making is the insult here?

Question is whether that includes the > workplace. I believe it doesn't. Persistent little troll, aren't you? If you are saying that nobody who's using Windows in the workplace is actually "working", then I'd have to conclude that anyone who defends an operating system as ruthlessly and impolitely as you do, does probably not have much of a life outside of computers. But maybe we both should get back to WORK now. Oh no wait, YOU have to go back to work, I have to go back to playing games on my windows computers, once I finish the work on my linux machines. There are names for people like you, but I don't think they're appropriate for this list, and we'd probably have to explain their etymology to some of our international visitors. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
