Which one is best?

Thanks. And you ought to consider a career change that would allow you to
fully use your 'skill set,' such as being a hat rack or a crash dummy...


I never made that claim.

Edwin, you made a claim that was damned close to it, if not that
exactly, when you were trying to defend your claim that 830 million
workstations were sold in the first half of 2004.

It was exactly that.

He was defending his 830 million workstation number and said that the
number included ATMs.

Actually, it's an interesting question. I wonder how many ATMs there are
in the world? My guess is there are a *lot* fewer ATMs than computers --
after all, most homes and offices don't have ATMs in them.

That seems reasonable.

Still, I don't care if there are 8 trillion ATMs. They're still not
workstations.

Nope.

I never claimed any such thing.

I never claimed any such thing.

Really? What do you call what you did when you suggested that ATMs might
have made your ridiculous number true?

Hi

I'm a 13 year old girl. I need to buy a computer for school work.

I'm just wondering which one is best?
Linux, windows or a mac?

A sparc + solaris!
