Ah - I wonder if I could find a sound clip :~) I might be able to use that!
Yes, GE... I've heard of the Nazareth song and I know what it means... just didn't know Jack had said it :~)
Is that all you got?
Pretty sad.
Go kiss Ballmer's ass.
Microsoft has seen its best days pass them, frustrating and angering users and installing DRM won't win you any fans.
Typical Linux flyby. Actually I'll be kicked back on my leather couch watching HDTV and running the latest software, while you're recompiling your kernel and searching for buffer overflows in your software. Surprised you aren't doing that now.
I used to rank above both the beer and the band on a Google or Yahoo search of HairOfTheDog... now I'm down to number 5 :~) I'm slackin.
Look I know almost nothing about Linux, almost nothing.
I just got it, and I pledge to learn how to use it.
My machine has 3 hard drives, plenty of room for everyone.
But, if I like Linux, I plan to do my business stuff on it, I still need XP for gaming.
But Vista?
Remember, a Vampire can only kill you if you invite it into your home....
BTW, my machine runs HDTV at native resolution 1920x1080 in 1080P on my 47 inch LCD, its quite nice actually.
You "pledge"? LOL that's what's so funny. Why don't you try some other alternatives from the US before switching over to "Ubuntu". How is that even pronounced, since I've never heard of it except on the internet?
You got a problem with someone learning something new?
Hell, I just got an Apple Ipod the other day, its a fantastic device, I love it. No way in hell would I have bought the Microsoft Zune (aka S***brick), I don't care for the DRM.
I'm not using Ubutnu, nor did I say I was.
You really have a problem with people exercising free choice on their own machines?
Oh you're right that was "wizecrakker" that said that, sorry I got you two confused.

Yeah I got a Palm Treo, has a phone and browser plus video.
Dang, could it get any higher? Not much! ;-)
"steve jobs, "I Coulda Been a Contenda... but I failed, so buy my hardware that you don't need"
I'm a Windows crony, but I don't think Jobs could be considered a "failure" by any stretch. Wish I had failed that spectacularly in business!
20 Billion in sales last year, and almost none overseas. How much more sound could you get?
I got a Palm Treo too, barely use it, its a work phone, and if it doesn't ring, that is a good thing.
Open Suse 10.2, I'll probably have time this weekend to play with it.
You sure seem to want to dictate what people choose to use on their own machines. That is kinda sad.
Lots of choices out there. Thankfully, lots of open source choices and free software out there.
And lots of pirated stuff too.
Its a fun world.
Filemaker hasn't been "flat" since the mid 1990s. I've built relational databases using the Filemaker engine... far easier than anything else I've used. Filemaker has been fully relational since version 3.0. My recollection slipped a bit... Version 3 came out in 1995. (Through scripting and the Apple Events function, I was able to design some multi-file databases that were quasi-relational back in 1992 with version 2.0v2, which are still operational and in use today.)
You might do a search for "relational" on Filemaker's website.
Here are some more references - the second one is for those who claim that Macs have no place in science or engineering:
"A significant milestone in FileMaker's history came with the release in September 1992 of a seamlessly cross-platform version (except for certain few platform-specific functionalities, a "solution," as FileMaker Pro databases are called, looks and feels the same in Windows as on a Mac). This gave it a very strong position in the marketplace and continues to be one of its key advantages. Version 3.0, which followed, was a significant upgrade with new relational and scripting features. . . ."Version 7 of FileMaker Pro, released in March 2004, supported file sizes of up to 8 terabytes (up from 2 gigabytes in previous versions). Individual fields could hold up to 2 gigabytes (up from 64 kilobytes in previous versions) and FileMaker's relational model was enriched, offering multiple tables per file and a graphical relationship editor which displayed (and allowed manipulation of) related tables in a form which in some respects resembled the familiar "entity-relationship diagram" format."

Actually, the first Filemaker version that was fully relational was much earlier than the Version 7.0 this article implies... Version 3.0 released December 1995.
Hey if free and pirated software is how you get your thrills, there's probably noy much I can say that's going to stop you. Just don't act like you didn't play a part in it if/when the US technology industry starts losing steam again and tens of thousands more get laid off from our big tech companies like we've seen the last few years already. Obviously you won't care that it happened, so long as you can still download your free and pirated toys to play with, but others especially those losing their jobs do.
Looks like you need to overclock your spell check.
You can build your own Mac boxes too.
The guy that sells this software builds his own boxes and writes all the code for his software on his homemade Mac box. Give him a call and talk to him.
And a helluva lot easier to use than Access.
What I meant was, that Gates wants to control the entire software world, using Gatesware, surfing with Gates browsers, etc.
