Personally, I like general purpose computers and UNIX. I can't imagine
trying to use some toy-like thing as a server or a workstation. Unfortunately,
you can't buy a prebuilt Intel box anymore that looks like a GP computer.

On the newsgroup alt.folklore.computers they are now referring to the output
of Redmond as "gatesshit". Peecees have become dedicated "gatesshit".

Hell, you can't even buy a decent 101 key keyboard with real mechanical
switches anymore.

I now have more sparc systems than Intel. I can't see that changing.
