Whoever is touting any UNIX-a-like OS as a Windows replacement is a bloody
fool. Such a system needs an able administrator, in which case it can be quite
comfortable for the end user, but it doesn't belong on the desktop of my
mother.
This is not an attempt to defend Windows, I think it's horrid, and if the end-
user was the be-all, end-all of OS development, they'd be running Macs. I
prefer the sensible compromise of the Amiga, myself.

JavaScript has been developed to show scrolling messages on your pages. It
should have been named ScrollerScript, but as it came out more or less the
same time when the hype on a programming language called Java (poor man's
SmallTalk raped by C++ which is expected to solve all problems of the world,
including traffic, pollution and AIDS) started, it's creators decided to use
the term ``Java'' in it's name, too.
