Hey! Don't take it so personal, you know I was joking... Plus, I had been waiting for a week to use the word "misbehaviour".

So, I don't like Microsoft's policy about software development, but until some specific point this enterprise paved the way for computing nowadays. Now, is time for the second revolution to take place... I guess!

You're right. Whether you like it or not, Microsoft and IBM brought personal computing to a much broader, general public. Unfortunately, most of their marketing tactics put software quality in the background, while "features" and nice GUIs were developed to please new users. A classic client-luring technique.

Microsoft helped IBM and other IT companies to create a need, which was often more of a desire to have the latest big boy's toy than a real necessity.

I must be thankful for this, in a way. My future will depend on software development, and hence directly on the people who need it.

He's a witch is a bit misleaded, the term is warlock mate, get it right, i'm a male. I woulda though u would have learnt that from sitting on ma leg

That was in the day when we had limited knowledge and were led by suspicions, in the bright day as today we see Females as Witches and their men as warlocks, altough they are both practicing the same aspects of magic. Different sexes of the same species/type are called different things

Eg: Goat (Inkster) and sheep (Twinkle [i know she aint an ught race, but its an eg]-) Both of the same species but different sex/gender.

Was a good point though Inkstink, but not good enough

No i think that woman that were accused attracted the most attention actually.
