If you buy your car from a Chevrolet dealership, it WILL come with a Delco
alternator. Don't want a Delco alternator? Then don't buy your car from a
Chevy dealership!

Which leads me to wonder why Jack Stein with all his professed experience
and expertise with computer operating systems would be going to Best Buy for
his computers instead of building them himself? Obviously the reason is the
same as before. He's either too cheap, too lazy, or just not smart enough to
do otherwise. And, if he's not going to Best Buy, then why is he whining
about them? I'd hazard a guess that it's lack of a life.

As much as Jack whines and whimpers about Microsoft, the truth is that
Microsoft's marketing machine (despite what anyone thinks of them) has
played a major role in getting people active in this computer age. It
doesn't matter much how or what prompts someone to become computer literate,
just that upon doing so, they eventually realize there *are* other choices
available when it comes to computers and operating systems. That's
Microsoft's real contribution in my opinion.
