No, but someone competent with the ins and outs of linux could ask
Softronics to allow for a try to port it. And if they like it, to have
it official and why not, selling. There is a linux POVray, so this
would quicken not only my spirit like someone had opened a window. I
feel absolutely sick for spending a dime anymore on this guy Bill
Gates which is far to sloppy and greedy for being the richest man in
the world. This is not ranting, but therapy and an attempt, to
participate in the question, where the world is going to. Hope, noone
feels disturbed. (I really cannot imagine, anyway). On a medium, that
is so attention catching as computer technology, there is nothing more
asked for than open structures, to give mankind the chance, to have a
more representative sharetaking of it's whirlpool of intelligence and
ethics thinking as a basis of everyday's work. Which will be more and
more influenced by computers. Noone seems to feel the atmosphere, this
cheers ranting moneymaker radiates through his sticky business
decisions. A guy, that supervises his major selling product in such a
sloppy manner!  I have w95b, and it's a joke. Except for FAT32 being a
major enhancement, there are dozens of obvious bugs not have been
taken care for to kill, but the explorer to implant in a manner to
make it seemingly obligate. He is so tasteless, it's embarassing.
Doesn't  anyone see, what it will mean, if this guy is dictating not
to millions, but billions, what is to be considered a good or a bad
way in decision making and production? Because that is,  what a
desktop with all it's machines, spell programs of this and that
faculty is! If someone in the 'outside world' wants to undertake a
business, a product, he's got the idea of the product and then looks
for machines, that can accomplish that. That's the best case. Then
there are people, and that's more or less all of us, that also need
inspiration, intuition, education. By people, that have an idea
already. That's the way, mankind carries it's knowledge along. Now,
when I first saw one of this DOS machines, I thought, man, this can't
be true, this is so absolutely boring and tasteless, where is the next
planet? I started with a sinclair and went to Acorn. Which had 32 bit,
a desktop, a three-button mouse, a menu right under the cursor and
multitasking, that's so long ago, there where still running mainframes
with 16 bit. This is ten years ago. But this guy here was always the
last! Because he was it all stealing! What w95 represents, is not the
result of originating makers, but a bit of here and there, and the
pardon me, stupid answer, that there is NT, comes to me like a slap in
the face, from the man, claiming to drive latest technology for
mankind, as it is sheer cynism. So there are two OS's, one for the
stupid, and one for the brighter? Thanks, no.
Don't you think, a child sitting at the computer does not notice, how
flimsy this w95b upgrade was? Or others will be? And how do you tell
your child then, it would be good to do it's homework? If the somehow
right now mightiest man in the world does not? What's this kid running
up against?


Still afraid of physical wars? Bah, childish.
The war is full blast going.
This guy is not looking for a better mankind or way of living. He's
looking to control you. Worse. He even hasn't made up what for.
He's an empty popanz. That's per the dictionary, he is, a puppet.
Worshipping himself. He is not concerned about anything else.
But he needs a mirror. And that's you, boys and girls, eating shit,
when the fucking thing crashes again, or you wonder, why your
neighbour is opening his windows double fast and antialiased with 30
mips whereas your machine is supposed to have 80.

steff

PS I really would like to see some more programs to feed a more
universal character in bitmanipulation and linux seems to be the
platform. There is moral involved in programming, and Moray always had
a high standard there.
