I have six family members over 6 geographic locations, and when they were all on windows it sucked. Now with 5 of the 6 using Macs, I get almost no calls, and when I do its a simple fix - or if the computer is dead I refer them to the nearest authorised apple repair.
The last person without a Mac I just wont help anymore.
I'm waiting for a Wikipedia article explaining how the Chinese have rolled out modern infra-structure and established human rights in Tibet China rolling out modern infrastructure? It's true - if you don't believe me check wikipedia in about 30 mins.. References? Slashdot.:-)
I raised the issue via the usual channels and got no satisfactory answer. The vague implication was essentially that it hadn't been a problem so far. Well, it is now. It looks like it takes external discussion at places like slashdot before these things can be considered again.
It's wikipedia, it's possible to correct this kind of thing. In fact there is no longer a reference to the article in Wikipedia. So in fact does that mean that the goal of the article is achieved, and now someone needs a decent source before this possibly fake information is put back onto wikipedia? Surely this shows wikipedia is working as intended.
Of course - the new ebook world is limited just to the US. Amazon state "... Kindles cannot currently be sold or shipped to customers living outside of the U.S." What is the rest of the world? Months or years behind? Maybe Amazon is doing us a favour.

What Stallman needs to do is catch up with the biggest development in the computing world of the past 25 years.
The man is completely out of touch with today's computer users. Any why wouldn't he be? His legacy has been about holding onto the past.
I think it is time to put Stallman out to pasture and get on with business at hand - the future which is NOW.
Thanks for that... corrected the article to 2006. Thats what I meant to write :-)

Nice one....

Circular brain pain... Sorry... :-P
Note though that the summary is not from the actual article but a quote from the anonymous slashdotter.
