Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass
Class Act Dynamo writes "I was browsing for a video clip I saw the other day, and I came across this clip from 15 years ago of Steve Ballmer pitching windows 1.0 in a television commercial. All I can say is WOW. Apparently, there was a big demand for integrating "LOTUS 1-2-3 with Miami Vice." You'll understand when you see the clip." Let it not be said that Microsoft has no sense of humor.
To continue the offtopicedness of this, make sure that if one is going to start with Debian (and I'd second that, so long as your willing to take the time to learn), grab the sarge installer. Telling a newb to start with Woodie would not be the best and brightest idea. However with the way the Sarge installer turned out, it would get my recommendation.
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/Don't want to go too deep into this right now, but with Debian, you'll get a great package manager with easy updating, and a vaste array of packages, a system that actually works quite well and is subject to fairly thorough bug purging, runs on lighter resources than a number of other distros, and plus, perhaps most importantly, is free both in cost, and in ideology. They're not trying to sell you something, just the notion of freedom :-)

"British accent"? Which particular accent is that? Irish? Scottish? Welsh? Scouse? Geordie? Cockney? Werzel? Mancunian?
I doubt many of those sound much like Anne Robinson. Can't you be a bit more specific?
See how meaningless the phrase "British accent" is?
Heck, if you'd called her accent "American" (esp. NE USA) you'd be closer to her real accent than some of those "British" ones.
Answer: she's Liverpudlian, but she doesn't have much of a Scouse accent, IMO. At any rate...describing her accent as 'English' would be closer - Scottish, Welsh, and (Northern) Irish are completely different.
OK, so Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain; it's part of the U.K. (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
The same question that killed Lotus on the desktop back in the day, is still applicable today. Can it run Linux? Lotus couldn't... and now it is no more.
