Mark Shuttleworth does and he's a billionaire. Michael Dell does and
he's a billionaire. Oops. And, I bet you dollars to donuts that both
Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates have at least one Ubuntu box.

Ubuntu works just fine for most solutions. Passing WGA and WPA isn't one
of them though. Only Windows can give you the Product Activation and
Genuine Advantage experience. Another Windows only experience is the BSOD.

There is nothing I can't do with Ubuntu for business that I used to do
with Windows. The only thing I can't do with Ubuntu is play video games
that were made for Windows.

Alias
To email me, remove what's invalid
 
Is it really different than the HP Basic I learned while using the HP2000
back in 1969? LOL
BTW: Anyone have any mylar tape so I can save my programs?

Or can I quit using line numbers and for/next arguments?

Maybe I should find my 18" compiler disk & run a few do loops on Fortran...
