I see you like to break up responses in order to change the context.
Is that a ubuntu trick ?
Like the way its GUI tries to give a crappy linux OS content.
If ubuntu is the future...its number 1 zealot has little left.

Google for in line replies. I've been doing it since Windows 95, long
before I had even heard of Linux.

Yea, Ubuntu is useful for checking e-mail and surfing on the internet. If
you need to do real work, install a REAL OS like Windows XP.

It's not you. Ubuntu is really just a TOY OS for geeks and nerds who like
to play around with their computers. With Ubuntu being FREE you would think
that more people would rush out and get it. Not the case. People try
Ubuntu/Linux, realise what junk it is and go back to Windows.
