If this 'Jim Alchin' actually believes what he's saying, he's got to be one of the worlds biggest fools, and if he doesn't believe what he's saying, well there aren't too many words that would accurately describe what he is. It's pretty funny in some ways, e.g. "We can build a better product than Linux...", which begs the question, "Well, why don't you?". Perhaps it costs too much? ------------------Mailed via Pegasus 3.12c & Mercury 1.48--------------- A.J.Scott@casdn.neu.edu Fax (617)373-2942 Andrew Scott Tel (617)373-5278 _ Northeastern University--138 Meserve Hall / \ / College of Arts & Sciences-Deans Office / \ \ / Boston, Ma. 02115 / \_/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
