My children mostly never have even used windows, perhaps at friends/family/school. Though still young they will be more comfortable with non-MS operating systems I think. What an interesting breed the next generation will become. Time to bust out some UT2004 again... blazing fast on todays hardware and still runs on Linux. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Mike Miller Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 2:05 PM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Linux and on topic On Wed, 25 Aug 2010, Erik Mitchell wrote: > On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 1:13 PM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> wrote: >> On Wed, 25 Aug 2010, Erik Mitchell wrote: >> >>> Ok, I feel a little guilty now.

Levity established. I was hoping you'd get it. What could be more ironic than me, the great e-mail violator, the blackest pot, calling your kettle black? I only replied to the vi/emacs bait because I thought it was funny. These days I'm thinking about encouraging my son to use emacs. Emacs is a little challenging, though, and I don't want to scare him away from Linux life, which is going really well right now (even though he *can* boot to Win7, he probably won't do it much). Mike
