Prepare yourself for a lot more notable people of Jobs generation to
take ill and die. Check out the story which begins on page 150 of
August 2008 Reader's Digest for additional insight as to why this will
probably happen.
Didn't a key member of Bush's team just die of throat cancer?

The real reason Apple is tanking is I was planing to buy a Mac and run
windows in a virtual machine using Parallels but I just discovered
that I can run multiple copies of Linux or any other i386 OS
simultaneously in Vista home premium. I can jump back and forth
between OS windows with just a keystroke.

No Pain | copy and paste

I can copy and paste between between Linux and Vista as I would any
other windows program window.
Linux has come all long way since I last looked at it! Right now I
have the latest Ubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu, and Fedora 9 and all three were
a snap to install! My favorite is Kubuntu because of the neat easy to
use K graphical interface. What I really love is Linux can not screw
up my computer. If any Linux proves to be a disaster I can delete all
traces of it and recover my hard disk space.

I love it!

Do you have any other recommendations Larry?

Who needs an Apple Mac?

Any one who wants a fast reliable system that JUST WORKS,
and isnt bogged down out of the box by CrapWare or outdated drivers.

The N8x0 Linux tablets are doing this with Google's new Android. Android
runs FROM Maemo Linux on them, just like an app, and switching between them
doesn't destroy the copy paste function, either.

I didn't know that about Vista. I dual boot Debian Linux and WinXP on this
box, but I have a dedicated Debian box that was the old Win98 box from HP.
It's a great little Linux computer, of course, because the OS isn't so much
bloatware like OSX and WinXP or Vista.

This article about Wachovia bank is FAR more important....

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/07/...ess/22wach.php

The bank lied and said they lost $2.8B. Now we see $8.1B...not some kind
of small pocket change. I took my money out of it last week. Money is
safer in a Mason jar buried in the garden than stored in any American banks
right now. The garden also pays nearly as much interest rate...

Arrogant pricks. We should drag bankers out of their mansions and hang
them on their electric front gates for the lawyers to see....Federal
Reserve FIRST IN LINE.
