?There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.?
--Ken Olson, founder of Digital Equipment Corp. 1977

The difference between now and 1977 is that there currently
IS a stable and good environment (called windows) available
_and used_ by the masses.

Do you have ANY idea what impact a simple upgrade
from win98 to win2k means?
There is NO fucking way people will switch to unix, mac
or whatever OS in the forseeable future. REALLY.

lol.. but let's make a deal:

if your predictions are right and 5 or 7 years from now
im sitting here with my Win2007 and CANT do shit,
totally lost and without income and wondering
what my wife is talking about with her 'Linux stuff':

i'll call you and make you an offer to swap your burger contract
for a job at my office. I'll even raise your salary with 30%.
