I thought you downloaded a file from SETI and mucked about with it for 20 something hours and then sent your findings back to SETI.
How much bandwidth could that possibly take up?
Further, there's money to be had? I thought I was just helping out.
I have got to start reading the FAQs.
Oh and as for the topic:
I'd be POed too if someone was running crap on my systems. But I'd likely just have him remove it and force him to buy me an expensive lunch. Many of my business disputes are settled with the purchase of an expensive lunch.
1 -- The make you run their OS on their hardware. IT HAS TO WORK. They know what you have.
2 -- They practically force 3rd party developers and manufacturers to "Do the Apple Thing" Subsequently things look a like, work alike and keep the "Apple Vibe"
3 -- They make users fanatics. They create a niche whrere "creative people" _need_ an Apple. You're not going to be creative on a PC; _Are you?_

Now Linux has fanatic users, sure. And Linux will run on a million different different machines. Sound? Who needs sound?:) But Linux has a real *nix thing going on. It is percieved as being unfriendly. Anytime someone makes a "Friendly" distro the community complains. The Linux community is more interested in Flame - Wars.
Vi vs Emacs
KDE vs Gnome
Enlightenment vs Sawfish
RPM (et al) vs make
Red Hat vs Everyone else
No sense of community like Mac has. More of a taunting older brother (UNIX) with a smart alecky sibling.

Windows is a horrible mess.
DOS, 3.11, 95, 98, 98SE, XP, NT, W2K
More bad publicity than anything I have ever seen. If I was MS I would pull Outlook off the shelf and send everyone on the planet a copy of Eudora or something. Even things that are not Outlook/Explorer related tend to get lumped into an MS problem (see also AIM.)
Users _don't_ want to get together and talk about their computers. (Some wold argue that is becuase they are busy using them, others would say it is because they are busy rebooting!) But in any event I see little pride in owning XP SP1.

Apple has created a "Vibe" about their product. Created a myth that their products are the only thing that can do certain things.
Truth be told -- Apple makes excellent products and _NOW_ has an excellent OS to go with their _cool_ hardware. And let's face it Anything you can do on a Mac you can do on any PC (Lin/WIN). You could even be... creative. But the perception persists because Apple has made their marketing work so well that _YOU_ believe it.

Reading that self-serving tripe was not anyfun; it was neither fun, not funny.
Let me summarize all 5 useless pages.
I knew Romero. He gave me a job. Everything you read was true but it was fun. Despite our best websurfing Ion Storm went under. I love John. I need a job.
Biggest problem I can see with "youngster's" at rhe helm is one of experience.
Not technical experiencebut of human experience.
The younger techs do not seem to grasp the idea that saving a Word File (et al) is not an innate ability that all humans have. Thusly, younger techs tend to be ineffective "trainers" and short on patience.
Oddly I also find younger techs do not have the ability to "See The Screen" allowing them to talk someone through a set of commands or mouse clicks to "fix" their issue. Despite all of their excellent tech knowledge and boundless energy, young techs aren't always great people people.
In the thinning IT world being able to talk to a 60 year old VP Assistant is more important than being able to script or build a BIND server.

I want my ten minuutes back.
unless you company is wildly short sighted I doubt that this is the case.
many times when people feel persecuted at work they build up a defense mechanism wherein the company will fold if they leave.
in any solid company _everyone_ is replaceable.
take your mad skillz and get a degree. that will ensure you some level of respect. then it will be up to you to loose or maintain that level.
