i'd like to object to the notion that bananas bit-rot rapidly. on the contrary, bananas can still be consumed when the peel starts to turn black. in fact the longer you wait the sweeter they get. bit-rot does not even set in until after those black spots appear. at that point however bit-rot happens at the same speed as with most products. the common perception of banana bit-rot is skewed by supermarkets exclusively serving alpha and beta quality products that require the user to wait until the product has reached maturity. most users consume bananas prematurely and are thus not aware of how a mature banana is supposed to taste like. > in an Apple environment, it is still out of reach for most of its > regular users. again i disagree, FruitSalad(TM) has made the combination of apple and banana accessible to the every day user. in fact, compared to all other components apple and banana are the most common. greetings, martin (who only buys matured bananas). -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix searching contract jobs: programming, training and administration - anywhere -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-curiosa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
