hmm ..

point to ponder !

just imagine ..
if we had only serial port printers ..
no parallel ports
(no, don't raise eyebrows .. i have some very high tech tablet
pc's .. P1 processor .. but no parallel port as a standard port
.. needs an expansion docking station !)

we still would print .. but very very slowly !

to get things done a bit fast .. i use and urge to use all
options .. not only ONE option

this eternal fallacy of selecting for only ONE out of MANY
options is absurd .. and the fierce debates that we see
everywhere results only in a lot of cacophony .. no work gets
done ..
usually .. and we have flames and battles and wars and egos and
.. and .. and ..

and the ultimate absurdity .. to get a thing done, it is so much
discussed, that it never gets done .. which incidentally is the
VERY purpose of the discussion .. to get it done .. but the
discussion itself defeats the purpose .. and ensures that the
thing NEVER gets done

to get linux anywhere .. we need ten times more exposure than all
the three forthcoming fairs (book fair, compass, industrial fair)

but even for compass .. if i suggest that we should have
participation in ALL three venues : NSIS, Sangam Hall AND Ice
Skating Rink .. i am sure there will be tons and tons of debates
.. to determine ONLY ONE venue .. NO ONE cares to even think that
all three venues should and can be used, far less agree to one
who does think so .. and can make it happen too !

and yes, while at it .. haven't you noticed my almost complete
silence .. all the wise old men of ilug-cal don't initiate ..
they only comment on my proposals .. how long do you think i'll
endure and bear and tolerate non-cooperation, opposition,
criticism .. of the senseless kind ? i am still looking for at
least one reason that gives me ANY gain of ANY kind for pursuing
a thankless task which no one else will pick up .. even when
shown the way .. and encouraged to emulate, copy, follow ???
