    Slow??

    I just downloaded at a healthy 200+ kb/s on a cable modem. I don't really consider that too slow - not blazing, but certainly not slow.

    Of course, that number was while it was still in the mysterious future, so your mileage may vary...

    Hmm i can add a printer to my kde in a minute or two.

    Then it's smart enough to know that when i need to print something, and i'm not at home, that there are 3 roughly equidistant lasers at work. It'll select the one that's not-broken and least loaded and send it there.

    Kde's printing is slick - pick something else to bash :)

    I am the author of this twitter rant, and I'm honored and humbled that people are continuing to use it. I haven't had much time to harass twitter lately, but this fills my eyes with tears of joy.
