Agreed. When some miniscule-brained nitwit insults all of us who
appreciate well-designed computer systems, and who appreciate a
variety of different systems, and then defends a biz-'driod propaganda
sheet and that glorified example of bug-filled code called Microsoft
Windows that was originally designed to run on poorly engineered
hardware, then it's time to do take action. Heh, what he doesn't know
is when to expect that action (1 day or 5 years from now), or what it
will be... and even funnier, he probably thinks this is a bluff.
