Hmm - I think we need to get back on topic. No more "what OS do you mainly use" and more "Lets offer Nick oodles of cash for his laptop". Yes, indeed. - Nick punch at perkinz.org, on 03/02/2001 11:37:31 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org @ PMDF cc: Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Thinking about selling my laptop > Michael Vieths wrote: > > > > > Someone said: > > > > > > Actually I'd bet that most of the people on this list use windows > > > 90% and then go and tell people how high tech they are and that > > > thier running linux. > > > > > I sense a poll coming... how much do we actually _use_ Linux? > > > > About 95% at home here.

As a longtime hardcore pc gamer I (and many others on this list im sure) will forever be binded to windows on our desktops. All the money that people like me pour into our gaming rigs leads us to desire the best experience that our hardware can deliver... and hopefully in the future linux will be able to acomplish that. Probably not in my gaming lifetime unfortunitly. This is of course is why i spent some money and picked up a good laptop from which i an run all of my linux operations from. I am proud to say that my fileserver is a slack 7.1 machine.
