What'd Mr. Brooks say? Is this a real > ad, or just something hacked? It's a real ad, though I dunno if it'll ever go on the teevee.. (there's another copy on IBM's site: http://www-4.ibm.com/software/is/mp/linux/audio/ibm_linux-02.avi Different file name, same file). Anyway, lemme try to jot this down.. "1991, Helsinki: A 21 year-old student named Linus Torvalds writes a new computer operating system. He calls it `Linux', then does something revolutionary -- he gives it away, free, over the Internet. The powers that be dismiss him as an eccentric -- a freak -- but everywhere coders and free thinkers embrace Linux, improve, and refine it. Now the forces of openness have a powerful and unexpected new ally." eesh, I'd never make it as a stenographer... :-p -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ In an alternate universe, / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ their name is Macrohard. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
