Dear Mattias: I would like to commend you on your information and your willingness to share it with us, because that is the necessary element that will avoid the one factor that criticizes our technology. The prospect of total fragmentation of the Linux platform is exactly that which we must avoid by means of unity with respect to issues of compatibility. Unicode was such an attempt. It failed as a consortium because certain companies including one situated near Mt. Helens (Hint!Hint!) destroyed that effort at trying to arrive at some degree of portability. The effects of that disintegration can be felt today and are regrettable, to say the least. OK, its only a trash bin, but it should be our trash bin, the Gnomes and the KDEs and the Cookers and the SuSes and the Calderas and the Mandrakes and the Red Hats and on and on .... Flowers and animals have infinite variety, but at the DNA level they share a unity down to 99% acording to the genome project. We are the United Nations! ------Original Message------ From: "$$$ Dollar $$$" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 15, 2001 2:52:41 PM GMT Subject: [Cooker] . ----- Original Message ----- From: Mattias Dahlberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [Cooker] unified trash bin? > > Uhm, I don't think this is the right forum to discuss this.
