If he's put the question in the body text rather than the subject,
it would have been more obvious. I did read it, and did get it..

Language.

It's not their loss at all - in fact an Amiga version would be their loss,
both in terms of time and money.

Why? If he wants to act like a child, he deserves to be treated like
one.

No, YOU think so because you don't know better.

There is an entirely good reason for that, and an entirely good
solution: don't use serial mice. Use USB mice, which are smooth as
you like.

Like you'd know.

Why would I want to drink that pisswater? Guinness, or a pint
of lukewarm bitter for me, thanks ;)

Or tools for doing work on. Which they do well. If you can't
use them, and decide that you must constantly chide them for
it, then that's your problem. But I don't want to hear it on this
list - I'd rather we were a bunch of civilised adults than "pee
pee poo poo my computer iz bettah van yoo" whingey kiddies.

Thanks
