You must read these posts. They were posted on Sun Microsystems thread (SUNW). I've read and re-read and I can't stop laughing....... *********************************** To: +James Nicoll (15951 ) From: +HARRY BAYER Friday, Apr 30 1999 12:37AM ET Reply # of 15988 Get out. Really? You mean people can't be productive without those wizards and wallpaper-menu-bars with eighty command icons? If I wanted to drive a Yugo or an Escort, I'd buy one. But the driving's a lot better in a Mercedes. And if I had the patience of Moses/Job, I'd wait on MS to drive me where I wanna go.But I like to get on with my own tasks, like most intelligent people who don't want to put up with Microsoft. There are several good alternatives to your corporate hegemony. I'm just glad to see someone finally kicking MS-butt in the business world. ******************************* To: +HARRY BAYER (15981 ) From: +LKO Friday, Apr 30 1999 1:47AM ET Reply # of 15990 If I wanted to drive a Yugo or an Escort, I'd buy one. But the driving's a lot better in a Mercedes. Really ! But I heard Yugo has higher RPM/per dollar....according to a Spec benchmark test. Doesn't that make my car go faster and last longer ? Moreover, who needs a Mercedes. The cost is so high. I can by ten Yugos for the price and if one breaks use them for spare parts. Who cares about memory bandwidth, I/O bandwidth ...err...sorry I got confused...who cares about comfort and ride. That's for sissies. I bet you call your Mom or your Housewife just because you hit a pothole on the road or have to slow down before you turn in a Yugo. I can buy more marbles errr...I got confused again...I can buy more cars with my dollars than you. My Yugo dealer also throws in a cheaper graphics thingamajig on the Window which is cheaper per square triangles than what your Mercedes dealer would. If you think yours is cheaper prove it. I said it first so I am right... Mine is bigger than yours...but I gotta go... ...oops I almost forgot....<VVVVBBBGGGG>
