Very simple explanation.

They install a pirated XP to run all the pirated Windows software they
already have.

It wasn't a genuine question. Consider that Snit claims to be a Linux
advocate. If so, why ask me to advocate Linux? Nor is it a general
discussion.

Any response to Snit simply results in his babbling about how his
"students" can't figure out the file/folder relationship and his claim
that the Mac UI is superior.

Any thread which threatens to be substantive is quickly derailed by your
mac advocacy idiocy.

Sure it is. I asked a question. You dodged. Again, you said:

Linux is great, it's the better mousetrap.

And I asked you:

I am not disagreeing - bit what do you think Linux offers
over other common alternatives ... other than price?

And you have not been able to name *single* thing. Not one.

This says a lot about your ability to advocate for Linux - you cannot.

You keep repeating this lie of yours... and yet you cannot find a post from
me *ever* where I said my students had any unusual difficulty with files and
folders. You simply made that up. You are a liar.

I did not mention the Mac. I asked a question. You dodged. Again, you
said:

Linux is great, it's the better mousetrap.

And I asked you:

I am not disagreeing - bit what do you think Linux offers
over other common alternatives ... other than price?
