BULLSHIT! Nobody knows how many unsuspecting idiots are using that INFERIOR

Ubuntu may be on more and more machines, but you douche, there are more and
more Windows machines also. I guess you must have ignored that fact. By
the way, the number of new Windows machines grows by millions and the number
of new Ubuntu users grows by the hundreds! Oops.

MS is the best solution for most. For the other saps who try Ubuntu, once
they realize what shit it is, they unload it and never look back. Again you
are too stupid to figure that one out.

Again you are as stupid as they come. What libel? There is no libel. You
don't even know the definition. Now go GOOGLE it and you shall see! I told
you that you are stupid. Of course you are, you use and like Ubuntu! LOL!

You seem to know that fact and I know that fact but Alias doesn't. I guess
you are too stupid to figure that out.

Good for them.

Linux is shitty for most people. That's the reason that so few people use
Linux on the desktop. Oops.

I like Mac and I just purchased a MacBook Pro the other day. I need it to
run the iPhone software development kit because I will be writing
applications for the iPhone and iPad. Better go to the library and look up
IDIOT because you are a first class one! LOL!

Ignore him, It's Bill Yanaire. How ironic, only sheople that need to
have "what's cool" and don't think for themselves drink the Apple
koolaid. Since he likes sheep so much, this is what he needs to get
for his iPhone:

http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/virtualsheep.html

Then he can do whatever perverted things he wants with his virtual sheep.

Hey shit-for-brains - It has nothing to do with what's cool. It has to do
with clients wanting an application and paying good money for me to write
it. Probably something you know nothing about.

Better you should stick with that factory job moving boxes around!

You get carried away, old chap. Calm down.

There are a considerable number of programs that just won't run in
wine or crossover (essentially the same technology) which the sole
reason I keep a second operating system on the computer.

And something you know nothing about. Name one app you've written. You

I don't write commercial apps you retard. I write custom apps for clients.
Therefore you wouldn't find them for sale to the general public. What an

You are the only person I've ever head brad about his sexual escapades,
then say he has cancer to get sympathy, but then admits he really has
hepatitis C.
Just another one of your typical LIES.

Here is a list of how one gets hepatitis C. Only one of them is an
innocent way.

* being born to a mother with hepatitis C
* having sex with an infected person
* being tattooed or pierced with unsterilized tools that were used on an
infected person
* getting an accidental needle stick with a needle that was used on an
infected person
* using an infected person’s razor or toothbrush
* sharing drug needles with an infected person

I don't "delight" in knowing you have HCV, but how do you "justify"
playing the sympathy card in here when in fact you did it to yourself?
Fact it, you obviously were on the "play now, pay later" life plan. You
deserve what you get in life and its now time for you to "pay the bill".
Oh and you are a real POS low life asshole loser and you prove it in
here every day.

You'd be amazed how little RAM a Win 98 computer needs to run.

One other thing that need be said about your lying about having cancer.
Those of us who are currently fighting cancer, or who have had cancer,
don't appreciate a weakling, scumbag, POS asshole lying loser like you,
lying about having this horrible disease, just to get to sympathy.
You are the weak, coward, POS loser excuse for human being you come off
as being.
Get a life you creep.

My machine uses a dual core XP 3800+
and three gigs of RAM

Video card is a "medium grade" Nvidia

Runs XP and Linux just fine.

Just barely runs Win7.
With a few tweaks I can get it to run almost acceptably
but I'd hate to try it on any older H/W

For those who use Windows...
unless one is getting a pretty hi-end new machine...
I'd not recommend Win7
