There are a few here. Too busy countering outrageous
posts from trolls.
Which means, of course, that the trolls are winning.
Have you noticed just how much more voluminous and jeering
they've become, once just a little uptake of desktop Linux
started to happen in the commercial arena?
At least 2/3rds of the posts here are either garbage or
responses to garbage. These mugs are like the Boss's
crowd packing the gallery at a town meeting concerning
shutting down the Boss's business.

Enjoy your Linux box!
And, uh, stop by the computer museum Bill talks about below.

Microsoft has had clear competitors in the past. It's a good thing we have
museums to document that.
