Trolls...spew and spew.

You know Linux won.

With 16 percent of desktop, it's only a matter of time.

Could you point me to a source for this figure of 16 percent?
I am trying to convince the suits in my company to look at Linux and any
information would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.

We?
Who is *we* ?

Do you have a professional source for this figure?

If so, please post it because I am trying to get Linux adopted in my
company and I need cold, hard facts.

Hi Flexible Flyer,

You seem to be saying:

Doubting that Linux has 200 percent of the desktop
is tantamount to heresy.

Supporting evidence is not required.

I saw a show on TLC once where a wife found a flatworm hanging out of her
husband's anus. Creeped me out.

Another guy had worms swimming in his eyeball.

That's nice. Linux won, you've been using it for 18 years, and you're
still getting the hang of configuring X. Very nice. Once you wake up
in the morning, get out of your wife Relf's bed and take a shower, maybe
you'll discover what "ls" does.

Ok, now tell us why she was looking there...

No, wait, never mind.

I can respect intimacy and all that. But I can't quite fathom a reason
why a wife might be checking hubby's poop-chute and discovering
parasites clinging to the dingleberries.

> Another guy had worms swimming in his eyeball.

Not quite the same thing, but somewhat similar.

My oldest brother was sick when he was a kid (before I was born, so I'm
relating what mom said about it). Those were times when doctors were
still like in the black and white TV shows, and they came over when
people were sick to see if they could work some magic. The doctor came
and couldn't figure out what was wrong. For 3 days my brother was sick
and turning bluer as time passed. The doctor tried all sorts of things,
but the bro kept getting worse.

On the third day the doctor finally pronounced his efforts as hopeless
and predicted the worst. He left and promised to come back the
following day, but he didn't hold out hope that my brother would make
it through the night.

Mom was all worked up. She hadn't eaten in 3 days, and stayed by his
bed almost the whole time. She even slept in the chair beside his bed.

About 2 hours after the doctor left for the final time, the brother
woke up and started to sneeze. Before mom could get a tissue to him, he
sneezed, and out came this great big insect. It was never explained to
me quite what it was, but I had this picture of a large lacewing. In
any case, after that he fully recovered.
