Posted by CmdrTaco on Sun Mar 21, 1999 09:54 AM
from the stuff-to-read dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "More GNOMEy in the news, Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer Business Section, bottom fold - fullspan artical." Mostly about Miguel. Fairly amusing.

"Even though it doesn't use a mouse and runs on arcane but reliable commands in the complex Unix computer language, Linux software last year was chosen to run 17 percent of the business computers shipped by manufacturers, up from 7 percent in 1997, according to the research firm International Data Corp." -- the author of the article

Yup, really nailed it there. I didn't realize that my mouse (with which I done cut and pasted the above) wasn't actually being used.

It's also nice to see their deep understanding of what GNOME is/does. (bloat, crash, not compile... uh, I mean, look pretty, provide a WIMP interface, etc... it's actually not so bad so far, for me)

Where do these people come from? I mean, is there a DeVry-type place where people can get stupidity training? Does Microsoft furnish free reporters for Linux stories like these? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

The world may never know...
