Linux is not displaced on desktop, but it's a great failure to say that
all desktops should be alike. Different desktops for different people
and for different jobs.

Sure. And I vaguely know what it is. But I have no idea why it's
considered "evil"...

well, at least you're now curious about things. That's good, keep it
up, Mr. Bean.

I've always been curios about technologies that interest me. It's just
the politics and economics that don't interest me so much. ;-)

Plusadvantage - Mac Mini is laptop-technology, so it's more efficient on
electric usage than most PC's.

Desktop computing. You'll run 'bout everything you can on it and use VNC
session to hold the Windows -PC in touch. OR you can use Parallels and
install and use both OSX and WinXP on that MacMini.

Certainly.

No, you'll first need to find out what's it like and then decide if it's
what you'll want.

*That* would be a serious case of taking misadvantage of monopoly status.

Is that Oracle? Not offhand familar with it. Is it the equivalent to TOP
(SELECT top 10 SomeColumn FROM sometable)?
I was thinking the NTile or Row_Number in SQL Server 2005, or the identity
column. Top works, but needs various hoops jumped through to get the second
and subsequent pages.
