    It's true that getting smart people to use it
    instead of blackdown doesn't really solve anything,
    for us anyway, he's right.

    Maybe if they had opened it earlier; but we ain't
    gonna run closed source shit on our 'puters so fuck
    'em.

    He claims to be a wizard, I'm suprised that he didn't cast a spell on McNealy.

    The Visual IDEs pre-date Java.

    Yes, and the sky is blue. Do you have a point, or is that just a random statement?
