Okay I have been watching this thread and I just can't resist :-) Let's all
join forces (and I do believe that there is a sufficient number of us) and
everyone vote (write-in ballot) for the Gov of Minnesota -- Jesse "The

governorship 2 years ago but he did just like the masses do not believe
that Linux will be a "viable" O/S against Winblows and I guess all I can
say is Only Time Will Tell. :-)
