Twenty is too many; it looks bad.

How would you like to waste your time scrolling through useless post containing the same word many times?

ROFLMFAO
ROFLMFAO

It gets quite annoying does it not?

In the future, I will lock topics with spam and continue to warn the members, who spam.

Windows works.

I also ment that it won't compile, and they did manage to compile windows.

Conclusion: this is not the source for windows 95.

<HINT>For those who didn't get it: I was joking.<HINT>

i never knew windows was evil. i always thought they were nice and everything worked perfectly. windows would never rip off the customer for lots and lots of money to fix a problem that was intentually programmed into its software, never.

dont they own all rigths to the "care bears"???

LMAO - you are joking, right? If this is your experience with Windows, please sell me both a copy of the version you are using and the WEED YOU ARE SMOKING (<<-joke).

If I wanted an operating system I wasn't going to use, I would use Mac OS (though they are improving drastically). An Apple commercial stands out to me as this:
Buy a Mac. You don't need friends. Your Mac will have friends for you. You don't need to do your work on a computer - your Mac will do it for you. Just plug it in and stick it in a readily visible location, so that you may look at it's pretty case often. Other people have been payed to say how much they like their Macs, and they don't have lives - now you to can let your Mac carry your life on for you. Mac: Don't think.

Ninjas abstain from the use of Macintoshes, except during mass political overthrows.

Hey! MACS are good. Just because MICROSOFT tried to sue Apple because MICROSOFT stole the MAC idea of a GUI, and they lost business and therefore software, doesen't mean that MACS are bad. Now MICROSOFT, there's something bad. Dumb monopolizers!

Due to monotary issues, the "more ninjas" use linux to combat the "WIN samauri." The "more ninjas" would appreciate the funding to use macs. Optimally, sufficient funding will be ammassed to create or find a macintosh emulator for linux.

This is incorrect information. Microsoft did not steal the GUI from Apple. Apple Stole the GUI from XEROX. Microsoft/IBM then in turn Borrowed it from Apple. Besides any idea as obvious as a GUI should never be patented in the first place.

Macs are not bad (OS X and newer) because they run on a BSD kernel, and you can compile most any linux or bsd software to run on it in addition to your native Mac apps. Which leaves you with more software then windows has.

The less ninjas are using linux to contact the ninjas and the more ninjas to coordinate an assult against DmitriB. Make your own ninjas.
