    Knowledge gap? You know this because you had the knowledge I didn't?

    How's that work?

    I was there.

    I fixed it.

    I doubt Goodwill had any takers on that Apple crap.

    You're talking in "maybes."

    I dealt in certainty.

    I know my shit: It's brown, about that long, and don't stink.

    In the year 2000, Apple could not support business.

    It's still like that.

    Windows 98 was fine.

    It got the law firm business through the day.

    Windows XP was a nice replacement.

    That NT server is still up and running a legacy app.

    ... from a law firm back in 2000.

    They had a full Mac system including server, desktops, and printers.

    When I hired on there, users showed me that it took 5 full goddam minutes to pull up a document and print it.

    I spent about $100,000 replacing all that shit with a Windows NT server, 45 Compaq Pentiums with Windows 98 and a shitload of HP printers.

    Apple is still not suited for heavy lifting.

    No.

    The death penalty is public torture and it does not stop murder.

    I think we all want a "shadow" internet that includes all the features of the current one except that it would be off limits to monetization.

    I don't think meshing is worth even grass root support because it would quickly become contaminated and pwned by retail.
