Be VERY suspect of any posting by the group retard, you know, the KING of
the Idiot Club. This clueless moron, Ringmaster will try and get you to
join his club, he wants to send you a laminated membership card and says
that this card comes with all sorts of "Perks".

Stay far far away from this creep. He is nothing but a pevert. A very sick
person who has a feces fetish. Very Very sick.

You can pretty much do whatever you want to with Linux. OpenOffice.org
permits one to interchange with MS Office files, if you need that sort of
thing. Almost all the MS software you "use to make a living" has
perfectly functional Linux equivalents. I made my living from Unix and
Linux software for some 30 years - I did scientific software support and
development for DOD - they don't trust sensitive, technical information
to MS.

I've submitted power point projects that I've done using the OpenOffice
Impress - I've edited digital photos with GIMP - I've processed quicken
data with GnuCash . . .

What can you expect from MS fanboys. Collectively they have a 6th
grade education. Maybe lower.

Re: What can you do with Linux?

LOL, I did over 500 CPU years for SETI.
But then I found a site doing cancer research.
I've never seen ET, but I have had cancer, and my Mother and Grandmother
died of it.

I was pimping nothing. I was supplying info that far outscored the far-

No he didn't announce a plonk. He announced a PLANK. Not sure what a PLANK
is so maybe you should ask him.

That's a redneck PLONK ?

No. I don't know what it is. He/she/it PLANK'd me a day or two ago and
said what it was, but, who gives a sh*t, as it's just another sign of
retardation.
