Had fun this morning with a caller (I’m at home, a retired network admin) who started out something like, “I’m with Windows technical support, and you are having a problem with your computer….” It became obvious quickly that I knew more about computers than he did, and it was fun leading him along for awhile. I ended up asking how he knew I had Windows, and he said everyone did. I said I had Linux (I actually have both), and he said I was bluffing and hung up. Made my day.

wallet…Lynx???
Really?Here…. Rock Out!
Though it doesn’t look right to me cos it’s black on white.
When I used Lynx it was in DOS, white on black.

I actually liked the first version of IE though it never quite worked right on a Mac.
