They're just cartoon characters! It's not like they get older, or can't change personalities for the better at the drop of a hat. How many people like the "Sad Lisa" or "Bad Bart" phases of the show?
I think the staff has their finger on the pulse of the fan base, and could keep the show going for another ten years with the blessings of Fox and its voice talent.
"You also are wantonly inaccurate about Slashdot's audience, which is considerably wider than you seem to grasp, with varying levels of technical expertise, and which neither one of us is qualified to speak for."
FACT: A militia of/. Katz fans with machine guns would be easily overtaken by a mob of unarmed Slashdotters who don't like him.

The Wintel affair may have just been a one night stand -- I think they caught something from their partner in Redmond...

I'll take your word for it -- those systems don't deserve anything more/less (depending on who you ask) than Linux.
