Bilow,

Re: "I think, by the way. Maybe Linux will reduce some of that... you have
to hope that we end up sending boxes out to a decent percentage of
second and third world households, in order to keep volumes up."

Just imagine that ... Second AND third world households running on
LINUX. I can just see those "households" using a "vi editor". <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef

Bilow, An excellent idea, that would solve the third world population problems instantly as we all know that linux users have no time to reproduce , as Yousef says, it takes time to edit the cryptic commends.
Linux will have to have a trouble free autoinstall GUI with similar user friendlies to Win98 etc before it can take serious share at the consumer level.

Bill
