I found a few bits in Google's cache, looked good. All I ask is let us know when/if the site is back up. ====== While I'm here, Phil Long also said: >code which _you can't fix_ and _he won't_. >Each has its strengths and weaknesses >In the end, though, I think the open-source model will become more >prevalent than the proprietary-source model, if only because it is >_possible_ for more programmers to examine >the code looking for errors and/or improvements. All good points, I totally agree. Linux ain't doin all the stuff I need it to (h/w issues; more&more m/f are seeing the light so in the longer term that should change). I dual boot. I reboot from Linux when I need to run windows. I reboot windows because I have to, often. (actually I should confess it is probably more than two months since I last booted linux...) jbrown105 at speedymail.org wrote: > > Better still of course is to write code with platform/OS/version > > independence in mind from the start ...
