Which Transformer Autobot would you be?

Linux IS easy to install now. Especially Mandrake Linux. Just put in the disc and it does the rest. It's just as easy if not easier than installing Windows.

WinXP is supposedly stable now, and that's great. It just took them what, 7 years to get it right? I'd say all of the OSes are pretty even in this area now.

Just because an OS has more programs supported for it does not make it better, and it is not a valid point in arguing which OS is technically better. I would not use Windows if I didn't HAVE to use some of the programs for it. That does not make Windows better. It just means if I want to use those programs, I have to use Windows. (or in my case, MacOS, but I don't have that yet)

The bottom line is, if you are happy with Windows, that's great. You are one of very few people I know that are. But both Linux and MacOS meet your little requirement list. (Maybe not Linux so much, but it's really geared toward a different audience at the moment, and you can still find either a port or an equivalent to every program you need on a Windows machine.)

Anyway..... This is like arguing with Mattboy about Microsoft products... Pointless. He loves them, I hate them, neither opinion will ever change.

this is the geekiest conversation ever! all about Transformers and operating systems! yikes!

my attempt to rescue it...

Who does everyone like in college football?

Sports are dumb.

I thought I'd bring it back onto the geeky side.

LOL!!!
sports are dumb.. but the people playing them are paid a lot

Iowa Hawkeyes!!!!!


they suck, but they're still my favorite.




Let's do NFL too:

Seattle Seahawks!!!!!

they suck, but they're still my favorite


I guess I like the underdogs.


And I guess I can never agree with Deker anymore, except on whether web sites are cool or not, but.....sports do NOT suck.

Sports are dumb.

They are for people too dumb to make web sites.

deker!!... i didn't know you were that GEEKY!!

I'm not really geeky (in the greasy haired glasses sort of way), I just don't like sports all that much. I like racquetball... and volleyball... but I don't really get into the big four organized sports. They are ok to play, but I have absolutely no interest in watching someone else play them. (unless the people playing them are naked women who are also really hot)

i'd probably watch ugly women play them ... if they were naked and all ... and if i had good seats.

If I was an Autobot, I'd be




Why does everyone think there has to be one solution? Windows for gaming, Mac for grafx, Linux for hosting.... easy as 1, 2, 3!
