Re: Re(fcc): TI-H: Radio/Infrared/Laser Communications




I refuse to start a PC/Mac war (they get really ugly on this list), but I
feel the need to defend myself here: I hate mac's. Not so much the computers
themselves (in fact, i think IBM was insane for going with Intel instead of
motorolla), but the operating system is slow, and cumbersome for doing any
real work on. Don't get me wrong, the same is true of Windows 3.1/95/98/NT.
If i didn't have to have NT on this box, i'd stick to 100% pure Linux.
However, i will not have it implied that i am in any way a "mac freak" in
this, or any other context (irl, i'd have to kill you :) j/k Please do NOT
reply to this message saying why macs are better than PC's or vice versa,
actually, it would be nice of you didn't reply to this message at all :>
