You are welcome. Anyway, I didn't write it. Instead, I saw it on a bulletin
board in about '94 or so. Of course, back then it didn't get past the history of
the then lipsticked 16 bit pig named 3.1.

By the way, "2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition" gets over
10,000 hits at Google...and, I'd guess none of them refer to Novell! (And, won't
until MSFT buys enough voting stock to take over.)

thank you.

Yeah! .. And we really believe what Steve has to say.

Read my Lips. No New Taxes

Old Steve, is just about as trustworthy as the guy that said that.


Frankly, I'm surprised M$ has not seen the need to kill off the Behemoth that Windows has become. It needs stripping back to the bones and a complete re-build from the kernel up. But they just keep loading on the FAT.

Looks cool and all that, but i don't think that you can just install windows 7 into your current laptop or computer and it will magically be touch sensitive! So i don't think that it will take off that quick as people will have to upgrade their screens or laptops!

MPX? YouTube video from July 2007.

BTW the Asus eeePC 900 and 1000 series models have a a multi-touch touchpad that works with Xandros (although the company that makes the pad doesn't seem to keep the drivers as up-to-date as the ones avaialble for XP). There's a new touch screen model of the eeePC coming out early next year. Not sure if it will support multi touch out the box but I'm sure someone will quickly figure out how to make it work on Xandros or another distro.

Recent video of MPX in Compiz-Fusion.

Gotta at this.

You know I can't see the point and it looks incredibly clumsy to me. Re-inventing the wheel.
