Re: TI-H: The End of the Holy War
-I- have a better idea...
Use Linux.
I was, myself, a microserf once too.
I despised the macintosh and all that it was.
I was in awe of the amazing power of Windows 95.
And I wouldneither speak nor see nor hear evil (aka anti-microsoft...)
Then, my dad offered to pay me to give linux a chance.
I was skeptical.
"It's... I dunno... But it's not Microsoft! It -can't- be better! Bill Gates is
my personal god!"
But I tried linux anyways.
Within an hour, I was hooked.
As of yet, I have not voluntariry used Windows in nearly two years.
Are you up to the challenge?
Try the unix way.
Give it a chance.
You might just get a glimmer of what you've been missing.
