[ale] WAS: proposal: desktop screenshots NOW: Consolidation ofDivisive Irrelevant Arguments

[Greg]

Hard to tell. The Republican administration let him (and Enron (biggest
contributor), Worldcom, and others) off the hook, but the truth is that
Clinton didn't try too hard to make things right either.  Like most good
businessmen Bill probably covers his bets and supports both.

What about the BSD's  ???  Probably appeal to the Libertarians and
anarchists.

And Apple ?????  With their feel good approach and slick interfaces they
could be closet lets-all-get-along-and-feel-good-Socialists - except their
predatory pricing over the years makes me think that they are Capitalists
first and foremost.

Sun and Solaris ??  hmmmmm .... Dunno ... maybe some political party that
belongs to another planet since they can't get anything right on this one.
