Of course it works. Linux is a knock-off of a 40-year old operating

interface was not cryptic enough.

At 0.86% of the desktop market, it's got nowhere to go but up.


I've seen this before from you HeyBub and suspect that you possibly
own some Windows stock.

Silly person. I do own a barrow-full of Microsoft stock, but that in no way
influences my position.


In a past post here in this group, I brought up using a program
called "Units" by using a command prompt (DOS Prompt to Windows
users) in Linux to find how many teaspoons were in a pint to figure
out how many teaspoons of oil would have to be added to a pint of gas
for a 50/1 mixture for a weed eater question in this group.

The answer was 96 teaspoons are in a pint. The tank only holds about
a pint, so two heaping teaspoons of oil should be all that's required
per tankful. I thought this was a good response to the question at
the time.

Your response was the same then, word for word attack on Linux.

But no help from you with the original posters question.



But had you not inserted Linux into the discussion on teaspoons and motor
oil, I would not have responded. I don't object to Linux when the discussion
is about moles or tar paper or even how many dollops per pint. It may come
as a shock to some, but the number of teaspoons in a pint or rods in a
furlong can be divined without appealing to the Linux god.

In the words of some great worthy, "The only way for Linux to triumph is for
good men to do nothing."
