Yeah I guess it's interesting; not funny. It maily is talking about some 
newsgroup thing, when HTTP and websites ended up being the big thing 
(but this news show was before Netscape, wasn't it?).They say the 
advantage is that "there's a table marked football", and today those 
advantages are mostly gone. Most people use email or IM to communicate, 
which isn't like that. Also there are forums or mailing lists like this, 
but the average internet user doesn't use it communicate; they use it 
for Google or Amazon.com.

Yeah I had to switch to Windows. Sound on Linux doesn't work, because 
the version of Alsa that Mandrake 10.0 came with doesn't have support 
for my sound card and there's no RPM for a newer version and compiling 
it didn't work. If I took the time to upgrade, I would get a new 
version. Also Totem Media Player, which Mandrake uses by default, 
doesn't work with WMVs very well (it tryed downloading a plugin, but 
nothing happened) for some reason.

Tim.
