Subject:  The Anti-Microsoft League

Fellow Realist,



I think we'll have to form some kind of underground anti-microsoft group 

with the purposes of informing people about reality, combating the MS-Hype 

(tm), and generally bringing the Truth to light. Its amazing the number of 

people who don't have a clue around here.



Cheers,

Mark



P.S. I think I'm going to start writing all my docs in Latex from now 

on....I think we've a CDROM with the whole package ready to go. Then 

again, maybe I'll just install Linux and get something reasonable to work 

on. Pity I won't be able to run Notes to keep up with the Software 

Discussion group ;-)

Have you looked at newsgroups alt.destroy.microsoft   and   

alt.fan.bill-gates  ?  Not to mention alt.nuke.the.USA

Fertile recruiting ground for the  Blinding Light Anti-Microsoft Militia  

(BLAMM!)



Ian would be in it too, I'm sure. He's already ARMed even.

As for our revolutionary timetable, I've begun to put it about that Jul 

6th, 1998 is to be international 'Raze Microsoft to the ground' day.   

Gives us something to work towards, anyway.

-----------------------------------

Can you find the Latex CDROM? I'd like to have a browse on it. Not that I 

feel any need to use it, just curious.



I'm drawn to the idea of using Linux though. There are some CD roms around 

with the whole thing, heaps of freeware utilities,

a C compiler (with source), Internet software, etc (so they say on the 

packet). Total price: $25.  Trouble is, I'm kind of

fond of some of the utilities I use now, particularly my DOS text editor.  

And I can imagine the sort of trouble getting

it all up and running would be. Much worse than getting out of bed in the 

morning. Lazy, huh?



Quite a lot of people on the nets claim to be running Linux machines. 

("Microsoft Free" boxes)





	Ahhh.. DOS.  I love the smell of napalm in the Microsoft Office.

	Give me a command line, or give me death!



Here is something I posted yesterday.
