You know, those $'s don't make you sound more informed or more intelligent. They just make you look childish. From where I'm sitting, you're a zealous troll. Someone made a GreaseMonkey script for UbuntuForums to replace that kind of speech with something that sounds intelligent. I wish it would work for Evolution after this email. If this thread had taken place on the forums, I guarantee some of us mods would be looking at you slant-eyed wondering about the ban-hammer. I'm personally not a fan of Mono's dependence on Microsoft's whims, but then Java's in pretty much the same boat with Sun, and it's still the language I use the most. Cross-platform frameworks really are a great thing for FOSS--they make it so a user can get used to something on Windows or OSX before switching to Linux so it's not such a drastic change. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
