Re: Help to Promote Linux!

Gary, you *really* need to move to decaf!! Actually, this is very closely related to the Informix-on-Linux thread and the linux-informix mailing list. So it is on-topic. Really. And if they start spamming you, feel free to vent your spleen at Mike Segel and Tim Schaefer.... :-) On 10 Jan 98 at 5:54, Gary L. Burnore spake: } I know you're trying really hard to act like you know what you're } talking about but that sentence really blew it for you. } There's flaw number 3. UNIX, LINUX and other OS's aren't going to } die because of microsoft. The "death of UNIX" has been predicted } over and over for more than 10 years now. } There's number 4.

What a stupid statement. } You really need to get a handle on your grammar and use of words. } Who is we? } You have one chance at success? Huh?

Why a couple of thousand? Why a few weeks? } Huh? You've changed your mind from the beginning of your post. Let } me refresh your memory. You said: } If no one in corporate america or the rest of the world for that } matter really knows who, where, and why Linux is being used, how } could anyone be using it in a corporate of business environment. } } BTW, what's the difference between a corporate or business } environment? } Look.

You suck. -- Ciao, Billy
