Before I click the unsubscribe list, I'd just like to make one further post to the effect that I didn't join this list to read about evangelical tirades against Microsoft and their Business practices.
Perhaps you'd care to point out exactly why you did subscribe to this list? And why you obviously don't think that the MS monopoly and business practices are relevant to a list discussing the use of linux in schools? Perhaps you'd then further like to explain why you're so sensitive about MS being knocked? What exactly is your business/personal relationship with that firm?
It would be nice if the *Nix commuinty could promote their products and services through advertising and on the basis that what they have is good, without finding every small reason to throw some bother Microsofts way.
It would be money wasted when MS have $37 billion in the bank, a monopoly and the ears of our political masters, don't you think?
I am sick of the community watching their every move just so that they can point and laugh when they screw up.
Well don't watch and unsubscribe to this list since it so obviously offends your sensibilities.
Well, Microsoft, you've got my support. I have been a Microsoft user for a long time, and always will be.
'nuff said. There's obviously no point in you subscribing to a linux list is there then, so why did you subscribe in the first place? A bit of trolling perhaps to pass the time?
I have been a *Nix user for a shorter time, but at the present time that may faulter until the whole system learns to grow up.
Unix has been around for >30 yrs & doesn't need your immature views on maturity.
And that includes the O/S as well for reasons that I really don't care to go into now.
Why not? My guess - because your `reasons' are half-baked, unoriginal and lame. Now prove me wrong.
I'm tired, frankly, and I'm sad.
Go and lie down in a darkened room then, you poor dear.
Thanks for the informative info and strides that have been made into Education so far, lets hope something good does come out of it.
With `help' from self-declared Windows blow-hards like yourself wasting peoples time and posting nothing but nonsense, then nothing good will come of it. Do yourself and everybody else a favour and unsubscribe from this list, I doubt if I'm the only one who's sick of your pathetic whinging. The most pathetic thing being that you've complained about a post from the guy who runs the list. I suggest that in this case Roger's got a rather better idea of what's on-topic then you have with regards the use of linux in schools, and even in the unlikely circumstance that he hasn't, he's got a certain entitlement to post to his own list hasn't he? -- Frank *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Boroughbridge.
