And right now you're copping an attitude about how you're above it all, Ed.  I
was being neutral, whether you like it or not.  And just for the record, if you
remember, I told Sean I agreed with you about Ubuntu.  If he was being so
snotty, why didn't he jump on me too?  You bristle whenever anybody slams
Linux; he does it when they slam OS/2.  I get it when I slam MS.  Big deal. 
I'm not taking anybody's side.  Get over it.
