I loved that guy. I personally cant stand Star Wars because it, even today, has a cult like following for a movie that was GREAT in its day, but by todays standards isnt what everyone makes it out to be. Never been a fan of lucas' films. I'll give it to him that he knows how to buy Special Effects. But thats about it. I hear the guys a real jerk from two people I know who worked for him. And ANYTHING you make, as an employee of Lucas becomes 100% personal property of Lucas. That may be standard practice but I'm not really cool with that personally.
I liked Sir Alec because he HATED the part of Obi Wan and didnt like playing in the Star Wars films. At least its nice to know there are people who take my side on the matter of Star Wars. Not too many people will admit to not liking that series these days. Half the time I say so I get flamed up the arse (Please, this isnt an invitation, im just stating personal feelings).
Sir Alec, I SALUTE YOU!

I didn't much agree with the rating style. They spent too much time rating Technical Support and ease of use for newbies. I'm very much a newbie and started on Slack... It's not for newbies? I concede I may have had an easier time if I started with RH or something but It's by no means inferior, the user may be inferior but the product itself? They seemed to think things like 'stability, speed, performance, etc...' weren't really all that important to the final product. I want to see how Slack stacks up against the others in THOSE catagories, not how people who think 'root' is part of a plant will be able to use the system and install it and get help with it.
Also I find it hard to believe that RH will get a top score and Mandrake will get blasted. Very hard to believe considering the similarity between the two.
