It's because you are an honest man and Bill Gates is the biggest, in your face, thief there ever was. Something I could never do was/is take advantage of someone. Because of that I'll never even come close to what Bill Gates has... I'll all ways be an honest, hardworking joe. Don't let it bother you too much Collins. You and I, probably everyone on this list, has more friends than BG will ever have. He's surround by yes men and people grubbing over his money, no love. We're able to walk down our streets where we live and talk to everyone and anyone we meet, without the worry of being assailed by some stranger we were responsible for putting out of work or who's business we ground into the dirt to get our billions.

The only thing that bothers me is the fact that he has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Think of all the very fine software, let's use one of the CD writer products (which this group loves to knock ) for an example, which is built on top of this POS. Perfectly good usable products, but they require an unstable insecure operating system (or noxious virus, depending on your viewpoint) to run. I really hope that BG continues to price himself out of the game. Then at least the rest of the world will see the light. Unfortunately my Republican friends (with whom I agree on many things, but not on this) regard BG as a hard-working, honest intrepeneur who is being ganged up on by all the jealous pinko-commie socialists. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2++ system xfce4-cvs ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Perfectly good usable products, but they require an unstable insecure operating system (or noxious virus, depending on your viewpoint) to run. There are a couple of great applications that I dearly wish could be moved to the linux desktop. If yopu can over look the OS that they run on, they're great in their own right.
