[nfbcs] Question for a Friend

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Trevor,
Actually I prefer an actual Linux environment as well when I can use
one. Sometimes though, I don't have that particular option. There are
still some things I can't do in a way I find acceptable in Linux, web
browsing for example. I also haven't found an IM client in Linux that I
like. So if I want to do development and one of those other tasks at the
same time for some reason, I end up having to use Cygwin or Colinux.

They say god has always been. Linux and I will now disprove that:
$ ar m God
ar: creating God
There you have it. God was created by the ar program. Good news is, God
really does exist!
