A lot of work there, roy, but not much content! LOL!!!
As to brain-dead or small or whatever it was you were trying to get
across, how is it that a PhD like yourself would think that a momentous
decision to drastically alter policy would just leak out to some obscure
flack overhearing a conversation of sorts at some equally obscure
gathering of folk that the policy was advantageous to? Or where you
imply that Michael Dell, speaking in public as to the product direction
of his huge corporation in regard to a linux preference statistic that
he was certainly privy to, would lie and so mislead the public and his
stockholders?
You need to regather your thoughts or else buy a higher quality forms
chart.
