I saw an article on some on-line news site (ABC?) and it sounded like the Linux users were going a little overboard. It wasn't presented like they were trying to choose their OS, but like they were getting in Microsoft's face about it. Probably, judging from some of the messages I've seen in various news groups, alot of people were. People might not be reacting to Linux so much as perceived attitudes of individuals. ______________________________ Forward Header __________________________________ Subject: Windows refund day reacton Author: Jerry A Clabaugh <JerryC at world.std.com> at InterNet Date: 2/11/99 2:24 PM John, thanks for your response. I'm sorry my message wasn't clear; I was pointing out that there seems to be a reaction against Linux users, and others involved in Refund Day. That's what I find so baffling, that folks seeking a fair break have become been the object of such anger. -------------- next part -------------- Received: from ns.learningco.com ([198.112.0.7]) by mail.learningco.com with SMTP (IMA Internet Exchange 3.11) id 000A5A4C; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:40:42 -0500 Received: by ns.learningco.com; id OAA22796; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:51:57 -0500 (EST) Received: from tarnhelm.blu.org(207.31.228.20) by ns.learningco.com via smap (4.1) id xma022685; Thu, 11 Feb 99 14:50:59 -0500 Received: (from majordom at localhost) by tarnhelm.blu.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA09199 for discuss-outgoing; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:24:12 -0500 Received: from europe.std.com (europe.std.com [199.172.62.20]) by tarnhelm.blu.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA09196 for <discuss at blu.org>; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:24:10 -0500 Received: from world.std.com by europe.std.com (STD1.2/BZS-8-1.0) id OAA11449; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:24:09 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost by world.std.com (TheWorld/Spike-2.0) id AA23310; Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:24:09 -0500 Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:24:09 -0500 (EST) From: Jerry A Clabaugh <JerryC at world.std.com> To: discuss at Blu.Org Subject: Windows refund day reacton Message-Id: <Pine.SGI.3.95.990211141817.13973A-100000 at world.std.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-discuss at blu.org Precedence: bulk
