I just found out yhat you can't trust Microsoft because they're evil fucks! Pass the word!

I've been doing that for the past 35 years already.

Almost 30 years here! I went from people around me at work knowing there were alternatives to people being shocked...SHOCKED...I could "do computers" without Windows or MacOS. What a whirlwind it's been...sigh.

Used to be able to buy PCs running Xenix, with Lotus and vi. Who really needed anything more?

Once upon a time IBM was the evil empire and Microsoft were the good guys. Remember, there's no BM like IBM.
