10,000$ a pop for one of these things. Talk about your RICH YUPPY SCUM blowing cash on something that they're gonna keep in the garage after a week of use.
While I own & still do play the Arcade Atari games, I was more of a 2600/7800 gamer myself. They defined Video Games for me at a very young age, I don't think there's one person that lived through the 70's & 80's without seeing an Atari product somewhere.
Barnstorming, River Raid, Missle Command, Boxing, Pitfall, Dig-Dug, Pacman.. These games defined a LIFETIME addiction of indulging in madly pressing buttons and screaming at a television set.
The last time I tried Mandrake, it was a buggy, bloated, pile of cat vomit that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.
I don't think much has changed.
Well, in any event, I'll check it out. I'd like to see how many times they can put "drake" before or after every single application they've bundled in it.
It seems to me that this is geared more towards Linux server solutions instead of actually addressing the one main component linux needs to succeed - the desktop. The article fails to discuss anything else besides unveiling servers. Since we've already established that linux can be a server-based OS, let's work on THE CONSUMER! Tux has forgotten the end user.
I remember having to use DESQVIEW to multitask when I was running my BBS off of MSDOS.. Ahh, full screen ANSI menu's and RIP graphics to boot. I want my bbs, and I want it now.

What a complete & total waste of money.
As of right now, I'm officially patenting the clicking noise a keyboard makes when you type.
That's *MY* noise, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let any of you MONKEYS use my incredible, edible invention without my written consent.
That is all.
Jon Katz, perhaps you should follow your own little inane rant and practice the art of SILENCE?

BTW, i'll "deffentntnetnly" check this out.
When compared to my 512k Trident VL-bus video card, I've had less problems with that than my Geforce256 DDR. Go figure.
