That'd be funny, if I didn't hear this first time about the time when
MS-DOS 6.31 was out... Didn't read December one yet (for reasons not
interesting to anyone I get my LJ significant time later than it should
be).

AS>> up a bit?) And the last number on that list is "Amount of money
AS>> donated by ex-Microsoft employee Bruce McKinney, to help legalize
AS>> marijuana in Washington state: $100,000 US". What the fsck is this?!?!

Oh, and now I see why OLE seems so strange to me. And I know what inspired
that Office paper clip. 

AS>> This is just a digest of what's going on in there. In my opinion this

You are exaggerating. When I started with Linux, LJ was more than
appropiate. Now it's less. 

AS>> the "best of technical support" is anything but (example: "I get
AS>> connection refused when I try to telnet in! this is what I have in
AS>> inetd.conf: ..." "well, check out that inetd is indeed running." Wow,
AS>> what an insight!), "New Products" lists exclusively closed-source

You'd be surprised, but that's what users ask. From my being on various
support mailing lists, the obvious FAQ questions are asked 2-3 times a
week, and manuals are *never* read. That's what you get for "computer to
the masses".

AS>> software (really, it's only missing an "Advertisement" fine print on
AS>> the top to make it perfect), and generally apart from a few worthy

LJ is not "Open Source Monthly", it's *Linux* journal. So closed-source
*Linux* products are OK.
