Dude, I think your comment could be insightful but between Windows Server 2004 (?) and the long run-on sentence chock full of spelling errors, I have to admit I have no idea what you're getting at.
I'm just someone they think they can order the latest high tech bling-bling from. One guy told me what kind of laptop "would best suit his needs" and to "please order this one" rather than the company issue IBM I had already ordered. He's getting issued a Blackberry now. I made sure to dig up the old school secondhand beatup 6800 out of a desk drawer rather than the nice new 7100T we're issuing now:) He also got a company issue IBM, not the pretty Sony Vaio he requested.
Hillary's just planning for her 2008 presidential bid. With moving to a state and running for Senator there (despite not being a native) and obviously using said state (New York) as a stepping stone, she's doing a hell of a job alienating geeks and of course gun owners as well. This is just talk. If she thought she'd benefit by endorsing the game she'd do that to.
If she's so worried about women's rights and dignity, what dignity does she have left after staying with her husband after the Lewisnky scandal.

Over here they are. Malware is the biggest problem I have. XP is pretty stable but nothing on OS X. OS X is a dream to support. Once OS X users learn some different comamnds, your work is done.

I am confused on how you "rebuild" a desktop on a Mac running OS X. Are you admitting that Windows problems are on an order of magnitude worse than Macs?

Mac users do have less support needs, particularly when you're supporting OS X and it sounds like you weren't.

Change that to "pesky Windows users" in my book:) Good info, thanks. We BOFHs need to stick together, this inter-BOFH warfare could take years, cost millions of lives.

No it's not. I support 30. Last support request I had was how to hook to an external projector. Train your users. Or maybe compare your support calls on Windows vs Macs.

Like hell. I moved my least techical users (Sales and execs) to Macs and haven't had a support request in months. The ROI is very much worth the increased price tag over your typical Wintel box/laptop. The stability and lack of malware are some fo the more obvious benefits but don't forget the lack of forced upgrades, no antivirus licensing to worry about. Not to mention IT issues a Mac and completely forgets about it since there are no support issues. A Mac might be out of place if you're a Windows admin trying to lock down your users with draconian Group Policies but for those of use with servers to run that don't want to spend our time worrying whether or not our users can browse certain sites or install programs of their own, Macs are freaking great. I have idiot Sales guys running around the world with 70 day uptimes on their Macs. And not 1 complaint.
Gnome has been dropped and KDE 3.4 added? Wow. That says a lot in itself about the current state of the 2 leading Desktop Environments in Linux...particularly in a conservative --not--bleeding freaking--edge distro like Slack.
In case you didn't see the AC's remark below yours, here ya go:
Ether 9:19 "And they also had horses, and asses, and there were elephants and cureloms and cumoms; all of which were useful unto man, and more especially the elephants and cureloms and cumoms."
Actually I do know what I'mt alking about as referenced by someone who beat me to it in reply to your remark. As far as ludicrous statements, I believe the whole Israelites migration story is one don't you? Unless of course your church has actual physical evidence of this.
and I just heard from a guy working for Blackberry that they're working on making the Blackberry Enterprise Server work on Novell Groupwise Linux boxes. Oh happy day, when I can dump Exchange:)
Thanks for talking the talk and walking the walk, Novell. IBM, when are you going to switch the corporate desktops?

Thank you, Donny.

I've lost count of the MCSEs I know that LOOK for a reason to deploy Linux and run it at home.

Like hell. Ever heard of apt4rpm? Apparently you don't run SUSE. Have no problems installing packages.

That was a reply to a guy saying Windows had better fonts than Linux DEs, mods. Try reading "parent"
Huh? Fonts on my KDE 3.3 DE look fantastic. Better than Windows IMHO.
you can hear Eugenia yelling "I told you so, Gnome developers!"
Mod as funny, mods. Good analogy :)

Hell, I'd just be happy if any normal salesperson could answer a technical question on what they sell at Best Buy.
Does any evidence exist of what your church claims as far as the Israelites coming over in 600BC?
