Yaaaah, you've probably just got a small penis.
But that doesn't matter here. A hearty hello to ya, and welcome to the Nunnery!

I *know* there's gotta be a joke about a penis emulator, which would surely, er, climax with a great punchline that includes the phrase "SoftPC", but I don't know what it is.

My hard drive is 3 1/2 inch low-profile.
But it's not something I like to talk about.

I don't know what a rOet is, mostly because I'm too lazy to go look at the profile, but I think I like it.

I have TWO penises. And they're BOTH bigger than yours.
When I asked the innocent question, "what kinda hardware are y'all running nowadays", I didn't mean to set off any chest-beating penis comparisons.
In the olden days of the Nunnery, way back in '87 or so, the answer would have been depressingly homogenous across the board: "Commodore64". We didn't have that many IBM users, Windows was still Windows286, and the MacIntosh users hung out at eleete Apple boards discussing icons and trashcans.
So I was asking again, cuz nowadays, you can get on the Internet using your PalmPilot (hey! another penis joke!) and even TV sets have web-browsers. I was wondering if I'd get a bunch of really diverse responses. But it's all still one or two things: Wintel or MacIntosh.
I've got some real fire-breathing hardware in my home office I could rant about, but I haven't. So you really don't KNOW how large my penis is. :-)

Homer, surely you aren't suggesting that Linux is all that?
And I have realized that I need to log in more often now. Too many posts to catch up on!
I have to say, that I have found something interesting in this discussion. While it may ne somewhat theraputic to bithc and cuss at Bill gates, and the various opertating systems that he propagates, he are some facts, that no matter how much you complain, aren't gonna change.
1. Majority of business and industry use and license Microsoft products.
2. Most computer manufacturers package their machines with MS OS.
3. If you have a product that you want to sell, or a SW that you want people to use and make any money, you are gonna deal with Microsoft.
What does all this mean?
4. You are stuck with Microsoft.

Not necessarily. I've begun work on a Java version of Word '97, primarily intended to replace the cheesy text box you currently have to use to add a reply or start a new thread here.
Information *wants* to be free, even if it takes a couple of days to download.

No dear, what you have is fine; it actually gets you outside to create and maintain things of beauty. Of course, I have to admit that this here place is quite a work of art if I do say so myself (tipping contact lens at 'Fang)...and it's not surrounded by 'Lance presents'.

On the subject of a chatroom, why don't you use Parachat? All you need is a Java capabable browser, and it's free!

So how long am I??

Well Tess, seeing as A Timex Sinclair could hardly be considered 'compensation for inadequacy'...I'm feeling some real fear here! Sort of like when you're at the zoo and the elephants are answering the Booty Call.

"Come child..if I really wanted to hurt you..would I be hiding in the deepest, darkest part of the forest?"
I want to play with base board today..I want to remove it, to use it, to drive a nail into it..to sand it, to paint it, to change and form it to what I desire...
and with that in mind... I'll have to get back to you.
