Wednesday
-
It happens on a Wednesday morning at least once a month. When I turn on my laptop, a friendly message shows up: Working on updates xx% complete Don't turn off your computer If it is a lucky day, I enjoy this message for 30 to 40 minutes. Otherwise, it will be 2 to 3 hours. When it reaches 100% complete, I sigh a relief and then stare at the 100% for another 20 minutes. What a way to start the day.

Strange. Nothing of theat kind happens on my Linux boxes... Rule #1: If you want to sell something, don't get let your paying customers jump through all kinds of hoops, like licensing or updates. I don't want you to tell me what we are going to do today, I don't want a Mickeysoft account or mail address, I don't give a damn when something has not been activated or a license has gone 'stale'. It's only the pirates who are spared all this, thickskulls.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

But Linux is free. I guess it's true then, that the best things in life are free???

You sure can't beat the ratio between cost and usefulness. There is also personal freedom. If every company that I ever bought something from now wanted me to marry them...

Maybe a new computer?
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I am not a game player, but I understand even games are a lot more buggy now, and depend on updates to fix their bugs instead of thorough testing. I remember that Microsoft use to have a lot of writers that were working on documentation, which was nice. Then when .net came out they had already gotten rid of them all, and so we got .net and an absolute minimum of documentation. When Microsoft finally got around to having a Wiki, it would not allow the public to update, and the documentation, as it is today is so bad. Now if you do a search for software help and you see it is a Microsoft site, you look at the next hit. It appears that thorough testing is now considered optional by software developers...let the users find the bugs, and then fix them if you can reproduce them...or maybe not.
