[Glastonbury] tomorrow's meeting

[maurice]

Well dears,

I was not able to make it tonight. As a newbie, perhaps as well. And that 
makes me feel sad.

During my short stay here a handful of lovely people have made me feel less of 
an outsider than I might otherwise have done.

But my original feelings persist. You come across as a whole, as a bunch of 
elitist techies who really don't want linux to become the home of the 
majority. It would become "too common" for goodness sake. Certainly you are 
unable to explain simple questions with simple, easy to understand responses. 
Or you subliminally refuse to do so. Or you're not bright enough. And I was 
warned about this before I began.

Suffice it to say, I've found easy answers to simple questions elsewhere.   
I've not had to go so far as MP3 Michael of the linspire setup but you can 
understand why he might succeed. Linux for him is something that should 
perform, applications that should run without the gobbledegook even though 
there is a price to pay.

So I have to say to those who still want to write printer and camera drivers 
from scratch in machine code (must have to be masochists, I guess) or 
assembler or C++ or whatever, goodbye.

Maurice
