when I signed up for AIM I did so through the netscape web site. I never signed or agreed to use only AIM to connect with the service. The questions never even asked what platform I use. Since Linux is not a supported platform for AIM I have to use another client to connect to the service. Why should I be forced thereby to accept dowgraded versions of the service via TOC instead of Oscar?
And if this is paid for by the advertising revenue. Does AOL charge these advertisers by the number of total users logged in even if some of those users cannot see the adverts in their clients?
This looks like an actually useful item if I could hook it up to my Linux box and download the mp3's to it. When are the Linux drivers coming out?? (i know - whenever i decide to write them myself:)
actually the best that Micro$ could do was render a demo on a SGI, that at best was a variant of the old Boing demo from the Amiga, see what happens when you are Market driven....
let me take a wild guess here... the stock will explode in the first few days, then plummet down to reasonable levels. Then the company will put out a few press releases to generate a little movement in its stock, then... well you get the idea. the market is so predictable sometimes I think it is best to get a revenue flow going first. Especially in the open source market, where revenue streams are unstable (see Linuxcare)
Does this mean that users of FreeBSD are more willing to pay for the assurance of support, i.e. an ISP; than a new Linux user who is likely to be a person brave enough to pickup RedHat for home use? time will tell..
I hate browsing through edocs. I would much rather pick up a real book and read it than try to sit for hours in front of a computer screen. The value of edocs is for quick searches and looking up a specific task. Then the clickable interface does it best.
I suspect that the reason these are sold out is because of the attempts by Linux peeps to build their own systems from scratch and thereby avoid the MS tax, like I did. but then again, maybe it is just a bunch of teeny boppers and their game machines. Wait till they realize that fatsre machines do not solve lag problems in Everquest.
ohhhhhh, AREXX; ohhhhhh, ImageFX I am drooling..... what I wish is that someone would convert some of the old file managers over. I was a registered user of the proggy filemanager 3.0 and it knocks mignight commander around the room. Filemanager 3.0 was only the third best one. DirOpus and Dirwork were even better.
