And now this little man from Microsoft was at my door, and he wouldn’t take no for an answer. „No,“ I said. „You know I can’t take […]
WeiterlesenThe 12 steps for getting away from Win95 and other MS products

Humbly asked it to remove Win95’s shortcomings. Made a list of all the computers we harmed with MS products and became willing to make amends to them all. Immediately remove such products from such […]
