Wrong, I have *never* claimed to be a computer expert.

You really, really, need to take some remedial reading classes as you
are either unable to understand simple English, or perhaps you don't
want to believe that you are wrong, yet again..

In any event, the term I used in reference to you was "instant
expert", used as a form of ridicule for those who, with little or no
knowledge, run about telling everyone how to do their job. Or in your
case what the best computer system is.

The Indians had a folk story about a rat that found a lump of turmeric
and started a provisions shop.

OR, you could do your own research and see if what I am saying is true.
What is it about you Windows users that makes you think everyone has to
prove to you what they say is true?

I suppose because most of us prefer not to be lied to. If you
don't/can't prove it how do we know that you aren't deliberately
lying? And after you display your ignorance of computers a few times
it is very difficult to accept that you know anything at all. Another
reason is because many people are naturally polite and dislike saying
"You are a liar" so instead that say something like "can you prove
it?"

And I don't believe that it is confined to Windows users, I doubt that
many actually like to be lied to.

[John B. Slocomb]

Regardless of any proof I may give, you and John won't believe me anyway
so what's the point?

If I have to prove that Windows is vulnerable to malware and Linux is
much more secure to you guys, then doing so is a futile endeavor and I'm
not into futile endeavors.

Yes if you actually demonstrated the truth of anything I'd accept what
you said however you have yet to demonstrate a truth.

You allege that Windows is more susceptible to malware then Linux but
other then your say so why should we believe you?

It is for a very good reason that "hearsay" is not accepted as
evidence in a court of law. Why? It is too easy to prevaricate. A
charge that has been leveled against you many times.

And running softwares developped [sic] for Windows.

Yeah, like malware.

No.. DirectX 3D games and HDTV viewer!

Yeah, it's not nearly as good as Windows is in running viruses, root

kits, trojans and other malware.

NO... DirectX games and HDTV viewer!

[Heywood Jablowme]

And the reason you think I care is?

Nobody cares what you think. You post ill informed opinions all the time.
That is why I need to correct your statements.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Yawn.

Excellent response. How much time did you spend coming up with that?

LOL!

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Double yawn.

You seem tired. Better smoke another BOWL.

 

[ray]

Lets us know how well Quattro Pro is running on your new os.

It should run perfectly well via WINE - but OpenOffice is included, so
why sweat?

Who the hell wants to run Windows applications in Ubuntu and who the hell
would want to run them under WHINE? If you need Microsoft applications, and
most people want MS apps, then use Windows. No need to use that INFERIOR
Ubuntu that nobody wants.

Ubuntu was written by geeks for geeks who can't get laid.

I note that you did NOT indicate that most people NEED ms apps - only
that they WANT them. Actually, that's not quite correct either. Most
folks want an app - they could not care less if it's an MS app or not -
the NEED functionality - and mostly they don't KNOW about anything else -
that's all. So instead of running that INFERIOR Ubuntu, they run that
INFERIOR MS - big friggin' deal. No modern OS is what it should be, but,
IMHO, Linux comes a lot closer than MS.

Such an obviously ignorant statement requires no comment.

Having *options* is a very good thing.

It can be nice if you want to use Ubuntu and you actually have that
option to use them via an emulator (Wine, CXGames, Cedega).

Having used Windows since Windows 95 up until present version and not
much Linux, I wouldn't exactly say that Ubuntu is bad. Overall, I
personally feel that Windows is more complete. But... Windows still
lacks essential features that Ubuntu has pre-installed. I, for one,
think that finding and installing applications and the best drivers
could (and should) be easier in Windows. There's a potential solution
for this if you could gather developers and their products into one
place. There were no good solution in Windows as early as in (most?)
Linux distros (and still not now). I believe that is why applications
for Windows are so spread without a good, easy, built-in way to find,
browse and install them from one single place.

<Snip useless conversation>

Jackie, you've responded to every troll in this newsgroup, subjecting
everyone who has them plonked, to have to read their garbage.
Congratulations! Now you can join them in the plonk box. The only thing
worse than a troll is an asshole who feeds them.

 

[ray]

Try reading the OP's comment and you'll see that none of the above was
mentioned by the him.
He wants to run Corel's Quattro Pro which is a spread sheet app like
Excel.

As I understand it, it's not much like excel at all - it works.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

As I understand it, it's not much like excel at all - it works.

So you can't work excel? In that case, I would suggest staying away from
all spread sheet apps. Way over your head.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

And you're the asshole you're talking about according to YOUR definition.

And you're the asshole who tries to shove Ubuntu down our throats in the
Win7 forum! Maybe you are lost and confused.

 

[ray]

So you can't work excel? In that case, I would suggest staying away
from all spread sheet apps. Way over your head.

As I understand it, excel still has some errors that have been there for
10 years or so.

 

[ray]

Have you ever used Quattro Pro or Excel?

Yes - to both.

 

[ray]

So what is the 10 yr old "error" you mentioned.

There were several errors reported in functions - I seem to recall some
statistical functions and some rounding errors. So have they fixed those?
