The creation of Michael Dell, who needs a surgeon to remove his lips from the ass of Gates, is going to Linux for it's production servers? Get outta town!! ----------------------------------------- It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand. Mike Royko

Dell: for the past 15 years, running their business on someone else's hardware. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]
