List: I've been reading _Smart Computing in Plain English_ for a long time. For those who don't know it, it is a beginner's computing magazine for the PC (read: Windows). Today, I began reading the current (March) issue, and there is a Tux there on page 82! The part I liked the most is where it says, "Microsoft knows that some people set up PCs with a combination of Windows and Linux but doesn't appear to want to talk about it ..." You don't need to buy the magazine to read the article, as it can be found at www.smartcomputing.com/mar02/.

My last one ( barring testbeds ) was a box that came w/ win3.11 <shudder> and OS/2 w/ a tiny os/2 icon on the windows desktop , which , if clicked , offered to get rid of Os/2 for me, and "free up valuable disk space! " needless to say that didn't lsat any longer than it took me to locate my Warp disk and do a nice "clean" install . I liked Os/2 a lot .. and because of the self help that it came to require ( after a lot of user groups seemed , somehow, to be infiltrated w/ all those strange "undercover" windows folk) , and the community around it , made the jump to linux a lot less painfull than it might have been ! when w2k came out I was required to test it , and it ate my OS/2 partition... and then tha computer died ... coincedence? ( IT probably died of shame, since it never even had winos/2 installed on it. ) -- j afterthought : Accordion, n.:A bagpipe with pleats.
