I like hp, but I wouldn't trade my very good Windows
system in on a loser like UNIX. The UNIX crowd is still viewed as the techy boys with no social skills. I use Windows because it works and supports the software I use on my job. And I like to make money more than clock a few extract CPU cycles.

As a former go-kart and race car builder, I find the cars on the street are junk. The frames are tin, the suspension supported by streched slinky toys, shocks are a from a screen door, the engines have so many qlitches that only a moron, or less, would own one.

I could go on, but I think the point has been made. And, leave my friend No Ax alone.
