Microsoft is pure mammon, we all know that, if the devil can appear on earth in the form of a company, Microsoft is the likeliest candidate.
And do their products cater to your special interests? No, not in the least. A bug-ridden OS that will only attract viruses that link you to porn sites and other filth when you want to indulge yourself with some edifying pastime (like conquering the world) or engage in deep discussions with either those of your faith or with those not of it, this very forum is a striking example of how civil and factual these discussions can be.
But what's the solution?
The solution is Jesux, a free, open source, Christianity themed operating system. By Christians, for Christians.
I came across this Linux distribution when trying to choose which one I should use, and I didn't want to let this pass without telling you. [size=0]Yes I know that it's a joke, you don't need to tell me, I want to know how long it takes someone else to figure it out, not long I guess since it's pretty old already. Anyway since I'm writing so small that noone can read it anyway I might as well post anything, like one of my favourite poems.
Alone, by E.A. Poe
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
Not bad for someone who's completely cuckoo. Of course, he shares that trait with a small host of other writers, Nikolai Gogol for example. A pity there isn't a list of insane authors on Wikipedia...
I could write more but I'm off to meet some friends and have a few beers, you may envy me if you like, I won't mind.[/size]
