Power to the people

Power to the people, except when it affects Bill Gates and his tax on the computer users of the world.

That's all.

Heck, the limits they are setting are not really limits at all. At least not for me.

I word process. I occasionally play a silly low-end game to relieve my brain of stress, but for the most part all I want to do is type on the machine.

If I want more hardspace on my ASUS Eee PC, I hook it up to my 30 gig external drive--and I have successfully loaded programs to that space and the ASUS uses them Just Fine.

Gates needs his head (and wallet and books) examined...

This is why my next move will be to Linux.

Greetings!
Thank you and your partner for your books. I first read it/them in high school. I am now graduating in Anthropology, and I paint. It was kind of you to describe the terrain before I hastily made my way, I might have joined the wrong thing for (unexamined)honor's sake. I wonder if you intended to write of Anthropology, or is it just what I decided to see? Regardless, thank you!
