Stopping Palladium?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Sounds like a two-front combination of "Plans and Countermeasures" mentioned above perhaps, and the below suggestions:
What about: - GNU/Linux instead of Palladium Windows - A PowerPC G4 based PC instead of a Palladium Intel/AMD based one - ogg/mp3 and divx instead of Palladium cds and dvds - P2P instead of Palladium Amazon
Yes, Joe User prefers Windows/Intel/DVD/Amazon for now. But the choice will be very different when he will be annoyed by palladium every time he wants to listen to music or watch a movie. Just be patient : they're working for us. And in the meantime, you can help to improve the alternative (hint, hint.) ---------------------- And keep on trying to make the barrier to entry less daunting to those on the outside who are willing to experiment--make dual booting easy--but who want to take their time to learn about Linux, not have to take a CS course before they can understand how to get their soundcards working.
The more uptake in the regular world, the more the word will spread.
I dunno, I dropped my visor a few months back, and I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see how life was without it.
Result, I'm creating little databases here and there to try to keep myself in synch. It's time to get the thing repaired.

or even this as food for thought about compatible hardware that exists now.

I'm just getting into it. Finding it fun. Nice complement to Mac OS-freeBSD-X.
