[snip crap]

Potted is in his third freshman year going for his community college
AA/Stooopidity. Freshman Orientation has been a terrific struggle.
Does it make sense for a closet to only have one exit?

[snip rest of crap]

Bing is Microcrap. It *would* appeal to you, Potted.

Who the *** picked 'bing' anyway?

Tom Potter wouldn't know an elegant computing solution if it smacked
him in his cooter. I'd love to hand him a ssh shell on one of my boxes
and watch him wonder why Gentoo doesn't respond to his inane
dialectic.

Gentoo is a computer operating system
built on top of Linux
which is built on top of a DOS,
which is built on top of an OS,
which is built on top of a BIOS,
which is mapped to hardware.

I might point out to my high school graduate pal Eric Gisse,
that around 1980 I wrote and sold a computer program called
"The Magnetic Keyboard" that was the first,
and still is the most powerful "macro" program,

as it trapped keystokes directly from the keyboard,
and using ALL of the instructions
from the BIOS, OS, DOS, and higher level languages,
automated anything that could be done with the hardware.

I suggest that my pal Gisse get a copy of the following U.S. Copyright

=========================

which describes a comprehensive system that incorporates what
is now called "data mining" and my "Magnetic Keyboard" procedures
to gather data from local and remote sources, including data dialed in
from extensions and telephones, and collected by dialing out
from live data and data stores in memories attached to modems.

and displayed the data in lists, on charts, on local, national, and
international maps
and building floor plans, and allowed the user to "data mine" historical
and real time data, order it, and display it in many ways,

and I might point out that this system did this
using the 640K ( Yes "K") memory that the PC was
limited to in those days.

I reprogrammed the "EPROM Personality Module"
of Processor Technology computers
( Which contained the BIOS),
so that I could call a phone that connected
through a modem to the computer,
actuated a triac which turned on the computer,
which then booted up, answered the phone,
loaded the "Magnetic Keyboard",
which used the most efficient resources to
negotiate an exchange of data with
the calling computer or terminal.

I gave my managers Texas Instruments "Silent Writers"
they could use to input and retrieve data, exchange messages,
etc.

This system was 10 or 15 years ahead of its' time,
and still has several features superior to present day systems.

Working from BIOS jump tables up,
is far more powerful,
than working from Gentoo instructions down.
