Strictly speaking movies leave a lot to the imagination only. Everything that takes place between scenes, off-camera, in characters' heads, and before and after the film are constructed in your mind.

Installed Redhat 7 on a partition. Can't connect to my ISP. PPP daemon dies. Tried two different ppp programs, two different ISPs, Redhat tech support, two postings to Usenet. No I haven't tried a different modem. But the point is I'm not my parents but I still can't get onto the Internet with Linux. I think it has to get a little easier for the desktop to succeed there.

Hey, chimps did get one of theirs into the White House. Even if he didn't win the popular vote, that's still quite an accomplishment.
