In the market place of ideas and idea or opinion is as divisive
as we want to make it. Anger and name calling is uncalled for
whether it's politics, religion or operating systems. Almost
everyone has a good idea wrapped up in their rhetoric. It's up
to this group to find that idea and figure out how to make it
benefit the most people.
MS Windows is the most bug infested glorified menuing system we
love to pick on. To do a print screen, press the print screen
button. Is it that easy in Gnome or KDE? How do we get it that
way?
Exploring faults is easy. Just ask your spouse. Finding good
ideas in the opinions expressed by "the dark side" can be a real
challenge.
If we put an Apple AirPort on top of the Citizen's Bank
building, how many people could use it? Could we route between
that and one on top of the Eugene Hotel? I guess if the AirPort
is attached to a network, it wouldn't matter what platform the
end user had. Right?
Enough of this. I have to get back to work.

Sounds about right to me.

Mine is that none of this has to do with Linux and is a divisive
distraction
among an otherwise congenial group of people who share a common
interest in that
operating system.
I've had my coffee.
