A friend of mine once said “If your VCR is flashing 12:00, you probably shouldn’t be running Linux.”

    This guy is a Linux user? What does he use it for?

    Judging by the way he write? Probably just to look cool to his IRC buddies.

    Reminds me of a time when I tried to offer some help to someone who had posted a problem online. I pointed them to a web page with instructions about how to handle the issue.

    Their response? “Oh, thanks, but I can’t see that, becuase I’m not on the internet.”

    This was on a web-based forum….

    I had a snide comment prepared, but maybe their mail client strips .sigs.

    Sod it, snide should not be wasted…

    I’ve seen it written that Linux is only free if your time is worthless. Paul, it looks like you’ve found someone who really has got it for nothing.
