Dave Barry on Microsoft..

[Garion]

OK, so it's not purely networking, but there's a lot of Unix-vs-Windows discussions here and I thought most would appreciate this quote from Dave Barry's column this week.

"...now Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according to everybody is the ``most reliable Windows ever.'' To me, this is like saying that asparagus is ``the most articulate vegetable ever.''

Learning to Love the Computer, Warts and All

I know it's OT, but we have to have a bit of fun in here occasionally! I don't usually read OT (And I'm sure that's true for a lot of others), so you've gotta get your pokes in where those who will really appreciate it are.

I hate inarticulate vegetables...besides, everyone knows that the cauliflower is the brains of the vegitable world....

Actually, I liked the part about the computer crashing and losing a whole morning's work..."sometimes as many as 18 words"...now THAT I can relate to. I'm trying to write a new Lab manual and training guide....sit & stare, type a little, sit & stare...type a little...etc.

Thanks for the link, it was a nice break.


Best of the New year to y'all.
