On 21 Dec 98, Kai Ruottu had a really nice post about Saying things
straight...:
> About the Alan's case:
[a little too much to repost]
> Please choose your attitude:
1) Most customers/users are ignorant (and maybe stupid).
B) Most sales weenies are even more ignorant, of alternative OS's,
hardare, or software, and wouldn't dream of asking about a
customer's requirements.
4) And, except for games and gee-whiz software, linux is the best
OS around for the PC architecture, whether desktop or server.
For some reason, I have this (quite insane) desire to learn the
basics of the win32 API, and the cygwin stuff gives me a nice
environment for being confused about both unix *and* windoze...
If only all the stdlib stuff worked the way it's supposed to...
Was anybody else as confused as I was at the end of Kai's post?
Then I believe his work is done here. Amen.
