Addison:

You mean, there are still people who DON�T use Linux? By all that�s holy, why?

Because sooner or later, I actually have to use my computer to get something done.

(Actually, I use both Linux and Windows XP, but most of what I do for work requires Windows.)

Addison, same reason i don’t use betamax or laser disc. Despite their superiority, they’re not compatible with my system and a PITA to find stuff for.

Andrew, i concur.

well, like I said, I haven’t seen the new one. I assume it’s all about gratuitous boob displays like most new shows (e.g. Star Trek and the like).

How anyone could prefer 1978 Battlestar to 2005 is beyond me. The new version is one of the best bits of science fiction TV ever rendered, frankly.

SayUncle has gotten pretty mean with that one gun question…

He hit me with that… but at lest he gave you one rifle and one pistol.
