Don't be stupid. It's not a problem with any microsoft product.
I've
posted about the dibold 3 sets of accounting books before, and it
has
nothing to do with microsoft. It has everything to do with dibold
president proclaiming he would "deliver the election" to Shrub.
Typical of a Windows fanatic in denial.
And how interesting that "The Fool" never replies to anything we
write,
except when someone points out the fragilities of Windows or the
advantages of free sources. I wonder if "The Fool" is some M$
employee.
You can't argue with this level of religious fervor (about linux /
open
source). It's not that I'm pro microsoft, I'm just not pro-linux /
open
source.
Oh, I'd say it goes further than that. You seem to be anti-pro-linux /
open
source and/or anti-anti-Microsoft. It seems to me that whenever
someone
expresses a positive sentiment about an open-source program,
especially
as
an alternative to a proprietary Microsoft product, your ire gets up.
Well some people go on and on about how terrible windows is and how IE
crashes, and etc. and it's all bullshit.
I've had my windows NT system up for more than a month without a single
problem.
That's not very long.
