 Actually its the reverse, Unix will run on a 286 at the same speed it will

Microsoft is the reverse, what will run extremely fast on a pentium will

ok, sheriff, du hast deine pflicht getan, jetzt bin ich dran:
1) obwohl wir uns intensiv mit den neuen tarifen besch�ftigt haben, hat sich
mein mitarbeiter gedacht, warum das rad neu erfinden (=erkl�rung neu
formulieren). doch w�re ein vermerk �ber den urheber des textes angebracht
gewesen, da hast du recht. warum du aber als einziger "die echte seite"
haben solltest, verstehe ich nicht ganz (schon wieder ein monopolist)?
2)danke f�r den tip mit dem ns: aber was, bitte, hei�t abschmieren?
3) reply �ber nachricht, realname steht drin.
4) re at.fido.internet: die e-mail-suchdienste d�rften doch einige hier
interessieren. die zugriffe

all back to the sender and jam them up. If hundreds or thousands of people do
that, it seems like all that returned mail would essentially clog its
arteries ("spam" meat product is very fatty) and maybe it would have some
kind of "attack" and die.  Just a thought.  But I do get tired of all this
endless discussion about it.
