Yes as accessories. What about UnButtTu?




No, they figure UnbuttTu users are so full of sh*t that they produce
enough methane gas to run their own power generators in times of power
failures.
All they recommend to them is that they purchase a URR (Universal Rectal
Receptor) which will facilitate the hookup between their ass and their
generator.
It's the "free" thingie...you know...UnButtTu is free and so is their
gas...!
Hey, I guess they like that free sh*t!

Only if you ask and know what to ask for. Most people don't ask and most
people don't know what to ask for and that doesn't stop the clerk from
making the sale. If you peruse the OE newsgroups, there are thousands of
posts from people who have lost their message store due to a power
outage while compacting.

What about UnButtTu?

Ubuntu doesn't sell computers and you know it so why do you ask?

Alias...It does not matter whether they mention it or not...Common sense
demands it....I bet most people (with brains) have surge protection on
there TV's....Battery backup is simply a wise thing to do if you do not
want to lose info...The big computer builders are in the business to
sell computers and if someone toasts one all the better...Being a
electronics geek I have always thought this way even before I got my
first computer which was win95 by the way

Having brains and having knowledge are two, separate things. Most people
do not know what a UPS is and don't ask for it. If you don't believe me,
peruse the OE newsgroups and look for "I lost all my messages!" subject
headings.

Try compacting your messages and while it's doing it, pull the

Gawd...only an idiot like you would do something as stupidly
idiotic as that...lol...now that's really. really dumb.
But, when you consider the source...well....

Are you saying that power outages never happen, Frankie Boy?

Alias

Does "UPS" mean anything to you?

To me, yes, and I use one. To most people who use Outhouse Express,
no. They think it means United Parcel Service.

Can't refute so you hurl another lying insult. You're getting boring,
Frankie Boy.

Alias

Already refuted...

False.

but you can't read (as usual)

False.

Oh, btw no such thing as outhouse express unless you're referring to
some restaurant you patronize.
Frank

It's a descriptive term for Outlook Express and you know it.

My, my another who can't refute content and can only shoot the

I have. Most people have not. The thousands of postings in OE prove this.

No, Frank, I am not getting weaker. You are, again, WRONG.

NO, it's BECAUSE every new version of Windows is full of hundreds of crappy
bugs, design faults and "improvements" that aren't, not because we don't
like change. Read these forums. Change is exactly what hundreds of posters
are asking for. Not change back to something familiar, but change to
something that is logical, sensible, easy to understand and works.

Vista is ten times more stable than XP was when it came out, but it is also
full of the most atrocious errors and all MS can do is what they always do -
blame the victim - it's our fault because we didn't know about this or that
undocumented feature or we must have done something not allowed to make it
malfunction. The whole problem comes from the fact that MS is the world's
biggest monopoly and can sell what they like.


Most people are naturally resistant to change. They don't like "new"
when
they are comfortable with "old and familiar".


I couldn't agree more with those last two sentences.

You see the same thing with *every* new version of Windows that is
released.

If MS did monitor this list people like you Alias would never appear here
