I realize that text mode browsers aren't for everyone but by using lynx, I never see the ads. The pages also load quite a bit faster than with netscape. I'm sure I must be missing out on a certain amount of nifty stuff but I'm really only here for the information.
OK, I guess I picked a bad example. Since I'm not a truck enthusiast, thay all look pretty much alike to me. (especially when all I can see is the bumper and the lower half of the grill in my rear view mirror). However, if you can tell a CamryCivicMalibu from a TempoContourMilenia without a close look at the nameplate then you've got better eyes than me.
A few years ago, Dodge came out with their new enormous pickup trick design with the bulbous fenders that dwarfed everyone else's trucks. Two years later (as fast as the auto industry can respond to anything) Ford and GM came out with their own enormous bulbous fendered trucks. Why didn't Dodge sue them? Because the copying of succesful products is normal business practice. What makes the computer industry so special?

I wish I could do a
grep -v 'sentences containing synonyms of "focus on our core business"'
It sure would make it quicker to read.

Does anyone know what that means? I get nervous
when pieces of hardware are named Win-something.
