#1 Twenty-six percent is a majority? And Gore won Florida.

I wonder how this compares to the number of machines everyone owns? Does the US have 20% of the PCs on the 'net? Does Europe have 26%?

#2 Indeed... It's like saying that China has more people than Europe.

Btw, this is how you keep out the riffraff:

Firefox or Opera
Pegasus Mail
Zone Alarm
Adaware
Spybot

All free...

#5 I don't know why Badanov keeps linking to BSD with a "Dawn of the Dead" label. The Apple laptop I'm using runs on a BSD variant.

(And for the life of me, I find the BSD "ports" system to be the most irritating upgrade system I've dealt with in a while. Gimme debian apt any day. Or I'll go back in my cave and switch to slackware. Og like slack!)

#6 S'posed to be a joke. I use FreeBSD myself as a server OS.
