Want to buy an operating system?

[Arthur William]

Hi, I want to buy an operating system. Ideas on where I can make the buy are welcome

[Downunder]

Hi Arthur William,

Thank you for your email, unfortunately we are out of operating systems at the present time, we should receive new stock within the next 2 weeks, if you would like to call again soon after that time I’m sure we can come to an arrangement. In the mean time have a browse through our back catalogue, I trust you will find many helpful items from our comprehensive range.

Kindest Regards,

Downunder

I have MS-DOS 4.01, complete with a monochrome 12" monitor. Its pretty useless but a great little 'showpeice' got it completley free too.

Try get an OEM copy, heaps cheaper than retail, and the same shit.
E.g. I got Vista ultimate for $330NZ instead of $900NZ

[Xero]

Well I got Ubuntu for $0NZ,UK,US and $-50CN instead of $0.

That's right, I was paid $50 in Canadian.

By the way, if no one has figured it out, pretty sure this is one of those bot-type things that posts random shit. It's a new kind of Spam.

[Just John]

Yeah.

I'm also suprised at how many people use Ubuntu. I know its probably the most user friendly Linux distribution, but still...

Anyone here use Shackware, Redhat or Debian?

[Bad Company]

Nah, waste of time, Linux is balls.

[DS]

For gaming. Otherwise it's a great alternative and has something that neither Windows nor OSX has and that's a free price tag.

Yup.

And really, people blame Linux for it's poor compatibility with the big player programs/games and even some hardware, but the companies refuse to release it for Linux because Linux doesn't have a big enough user base because - surprise surprise - they won't release the drivers and programs for Linux.

It's going to be an endless loop until more programs can be used inside a web browser and OS doesn't mean shit. We're headed there, but we're a long way away from it.

Notice that he hasn't come back? Usually they post a few times with random messages and then start classic Spam a while later. I've seen it happen.

I'm obviously not 100% sure, but the fact that he hasn't been back is a pretty big tipoff.

bot or not, hero should be anal raped.


then he can be punished for approving some guy who doesn't know where to buy an os

Hi, I have been using Epson printer as its digital imaging quality is best . I was looking to buy ink catridge for my printer. One of my friend tell me about (faggy URL here). I visit this site and found Epson T019201 ink catridge. It is compatible with Epson inkjet printers and is the perfect option for Epson users who wish to cut their cartridge costs without compromising quality. Here, Epson black, colored ink catridge are available at reasonable price.
