Oh wow! Way cool! You have a 32-bit (?) OS, with pre-emptive
multitasking, multithreading, a flat memory model and all that, that
comes with all the tools for connecting to the Internet and an
intelligent, dynamic, powerful GUI?
Well, I've had one for over a year now. It's called Linux. It's Unix. And
it's free, and so is 99% of all the software for it. Gee. I guess you
just wasted your money.
