???? Voting for a newsgroup post? That's something new...
Oh, now I see. You're using the web interface. Sweet irony. Why do you
use such a crap interface to newsgroups? Use a real newsreader.


Anyway, if you don't like Microsoft products, you don't have to use
them. There are enough alternatives available, most of them cheaper (or
even free) and of better quality. If you want them, you know where to
get them.

So please don't use MS products and stop complaining here. If enough
people would do the same, MS would be forced to improve. But your
message... do you know what MS does with it? *plonk*


To all other readers: please ignore, filter or killfile edamlowe if you
can. He's just a harmless nuisance.
In short: I'd like to put a signpost he

If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

AFAIK, Microsoft doesn't build any "systems." Although Microsoft does sell a
limited amount of hardware, it is primarily a software publisher.

I don't recall having seen any questions from you in this forum. If you are
having a specific problem, we would be happy to try to help you solve it.
It's possible that the reason you think your "system" is crap is that you
don't know how to use it properly.

Interesting how often the terms "stupid," "crap" or worse are used to
describe the features or functions that are misunderstood.

Yes, my husband is in the other room at the moment screaming about the
idiocy of those who designed Excel. g

In the case of Excel though, he may be absolutely right. g
I mean, an 8-bit column limitation, and a 16-bit row limitation...
c'mon! Corel's Quattro Pro spreadsheet supports 18,278 columns and up
to 1,000,000 rows.
Surely you know these also:

Every sufficiently enough complex system has a help/discussion group.
The largest implementation of phpBB (a well known bulletin board) on
the web is used by the Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org.

Sounds like you're a l33t war3z h4x0r kiddie...

Evil Empire Conspiracy Theory... and Steve Ballmer is one of the
Illuminati, right?

Imho no (sufficiently enough complex) system is superior or inferior to
another. Each design serves its own purpose. An intelligent person
knows when to choose A or B, without prejudice.

Just this last thing: please don't start using Linux or BSD or
something remotely related. They don't want or need people like you.
You're not welcome, unless you clean up your act. And if I were your
dad, I'd unbuckle my belt right now.
