Geez, you've really not give the Linux world
a chance have you? There are more apps than I

Right. Thats why my $29 purchase price nabbed
*6* CD's full of software...whereas you pay what,
$90-100 for Windog, and how many CD's? ;-)

Unfair comparison, since IBM dropped support

Nobody I know of that has even a modicum of
knowledge about the computing "world" is talking about Linux in the past
