Too any people approach using a computer the same way they approach using a microwave oven or an alarm clock...as an appliance."<BR/><BR/>Annnd we have anothah winnah, folks! (/carnival barker)<BR/><BR/>There are so many people today that expect their PC's to work that way. Push the buttons and ding! it does what you want. An especial pet peeve of my father is dealing with ignoramuses who don't see the need for AV software because they can't tell the difference (upkeep-wise) between their desktop and their toaster.<BR/><BR/>Gamers are often especially of this mentality, viewing their machines as little more than an upgradeable console. They usually have the attention spans of mosquitoes and throw a <I>fit</I> if they have to do <B>anything </B>besides put the disc in the right slot, click the big Install button and wait more than a few minutes.<BR/><BR/>The above two groups are where Window$ gets a good deal of their customer base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-35525724671294768232008-10-17T15:21:00.000-05:002008-10-17T15:21:00.000-05:00@ anonymousreference your above post. go to fixed...@ anonymous<BR/><BR/>reference your above post. go to fixedbylinux.com and hit the contact button to email me.<BR/><BR/>I want to talk to you.<BR/><BR/>hAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978117986484281976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-35854847717324916992008-10-17T13:14:00.000-05:002008-10-17T13:14:00.000-05:00Hello I am a Penguin and I am not a stereo type. I...Hello I am a Penguin and I am not a stereo type. I am not Hip or stuffy. Yet I can be what you need me to be.<BR/><BR/>I am an operating system that can be what ever you want it to be. I am a desktop, a server, a cluster. I can be a net appliance or a super computer. I can do as little or as much as you need. I can run on the fastest most up to date computers or I can bring new life to your older equipment. <BR/><BR/>I am what all people want. I am freedom. I am free from the dictates of any one company. I am free of corporate, governmental, or national boundaries. I can help the young learn, and scientists find answers. <BR/><BR/>You can use me on as many computers as you want. You can make changes to me, improve me, make me what you want me to be for you. You can work with others, share the collective knowledge of thousands around the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-1728591405277598462008-10-06T14:55:00.000-05:002008-10-06T14:55:00.000-05:00Hi I'm a Penguin and I can save people money.Hi I'...Hi I'm a Penguin and I can save people money.<BR/>Hi I'm a Penguin and I can protect you computer from viruses.<BR/>Hi I'm a Penguin and I can give you freedom from proprietary Operating Systems.<BR/>Hi I'm a Penguin and I can help you get more life out of older PC's, or Mac's or ...<BR/>Hi I'm a Penguin and I can save your sanity.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Just some thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-92078006477098563202008-10-04T22:47:00.000-05:002008-10-04T22:47:00.000-05:00I hope Anonymous comes back.

Focusing my meager energies into a few main points will have greater impact and not wear me out. It makes even more sense if it's a major ad campaign.
