Guaranteed eh?
So, you bring your solaris box and I'll bring my NT box and we pick a
benchmark and winner takes all??
Care to run a TPC benchmark? Webspec99 benchmark? SAP? Hell, wanna run the
Oracle $1million challenge (I can provide the terrabytes of data from a
warehouse, can you?)
Better yet - why don't you materialize that magical ping attack and take my
W2K box down in 7 seconds flat? Remember that lie - the one that introduced
you to this world? We all do.
yea pook - remember, you just work there, it ain't your stuff ('cept for the
stuff you leech and pocket but we won't go into that)... unlike me; I own
it.

yep - we did and once again you were/are nothing but repeating the same old

Amazing how we all knew ...
Gee, maybe my copy of SideKick 1 will cause Windows 95 to crash if loaded
before mscdex.exe - oh oh, a bug!
Too bad everyone using pcA just clicks on "live update" and bingo - problem
fixed, free, by symantec (who was the source of the "bug" in any case)

By the time the PS3 + HDTV + network connects + everything else that makes a
PC a PC, you are going to be spending more money on that system than a PC!
And, you can still do other things with a PC as well...

Could that be because the nature of NT-Alpha was a 32 bit OS

on what was a 32 bit OS?

Not entirely surprising, after reading the comments of the UNIX

Actually, having been shopping for a new motherboard and processor for
my home machine, ive noticed that athlons have had an average of 50mhz
on pentium IIIs for quite a while.
www.pricewatch.com
As of right now, the latest *consumer available* athlon processor is 850mhz.
AFAIK, the fastest PIII is 800mhz, and is on average, about 200 dollars more.

Both Accubyte and Paragon Technology, Inc. had athlon 850s available for
shipment at 4pm, EST today.

You seem to have missed my main point, and therefore you have avoided the
one question which might bring some sanity to this discussion.
What exactly is it about the basic tenants of capitalism which requires
anyone who accepts the basic tenants of capitalism to be either in favor of
intellectual property law, or inconsistent? You keep repeating this, and I
know you believe it to be true and obvious, but it's really not obvious to
me. And I'd like to get a better grip on exactly where you stand, so it'd
be very helpful if you could just point me in the right direction.
