I don't find you very funny. And I'm certainly not a soulless drudge, LOLboi.

Haven't you anything better to do that post lies about linux? That would seem to be a far more pointless pursuit.

Obviously you never met a football fan. Endless discussion take place about the noble game of football ('soccer', to you Yanks). Fans of old movies talk about them, too, you know. Why should Linux not be discussed by its users? *Everyone8 talks about their interests with like-minded people.

I have. It's good, and growing. You seem to be ignorant of the truth. Linux users are not dull or slow-witted, rather the reverse.

No, in the case of CrossOverOffice, by pros.

Have you any evidence that no regular users have downloaded Firefox? It's been recommended more than once in mainstream Sunday newspapers and wide circulation PC mags over here, to regular users. In fact, I posted out an article in the Sunday Times recently which advocated the use of both Firefox and Thunderbird (its sister email client), to a regular generally non-technical readership.

Then you clearly haven't been paying attention here lately, or are outright lying. I'd settle for the second. The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (to give it its full name) competes with most good graphics packages for Windows, and has been discussed here at length. The 2.4 release is scheduled to have full colour management, which will bring it more or less up to the full Photoshop level - it's almost there now in other respects, and doesn't cost the earth, either. it's certain the equal of PaintShop Pro, a very popular Windows app, which many regular Windows users will be familiar with.

OO.org is OpenOffice.org, the Linux-Open source flagship office suite, derived from StarOffice. Thunderbird is an email app which knocks spots of OE. If they've heard of Firefox, they'll have heard of Thunderbird, too - they can be downloaded from much the same place.

Don't get clever with me, bill. You were being insulting. I just turned you insult back on you. See, I don't accept your incorreect judgement of linux advocates in the workplace as idiots.

Maybe you should start thinking and stop being an idiot. You're the stereotype here, not me. I'm speaing the truth, while you lie.
