I do not know if I want to test FF9 now, that my day is coming to an end here at work, or well, just wait to come home and test FF10.

Yes, I use Concept Draw, very satisfied. However, in this MS World, everybody sends me .vsd files :-/

Thanks for the spelling check, I meant "can't" as you corrected.

Regarding the viewer, it still runs only in windows.

I'm using JellyfiSHH in my MAC to bookmark the hosts I have to SSH, but I do really miss SecureCRT.

"Options for word processing, spreadsheets, etc. have grown. "

Not quite true.

For simple things, yes, LibreOffice works great, but, in most cases, you can not change the MSExcel to a economist.

Also, In my personal experience, MSVisio is a must have, and there is not a real replacement. In fact, there is not any alternative at all if you receive visio files. You can even open them to look at them.

At home (suft the web mostly) I use Ubuntu. Perfect.

At work, I have a Mac and I love it, but I sill have to run XP in VBox just to run Visio.

:-D :-D Hilarious indeed!

the year of the Linux HYBRID Desktop !

...to be the #1 phone vendor.

Absolutely.

I'm not a programmer full time (not even part time :) ) but once, many years ago, I had to learn by myself how to program C, and I've got "C: How to program" and for me, it is the best book on programming I've ever read.

They way it teaches it just excellent. I do not mean the way it teaches C, I mean, the way it teaches how to program, what a programming language is, etc.

That's all.

I just did not want to post it under someone else "thanks" post. I'm being selfish today :-)

The best for you and your family!

Is there a bright side?

Absolutely.

I can not understand how Nokia insists on WP7 when users everywhere want to buy the N9 with meego.

It's even funny when users are asking for something they want to buy and the CEO thinks they're all wrong, that WP7 is the way to go. It is the easiest business: people is already telling you what product they want, you just to produce it and sell it.

most of the people out there will think that Hurd is just another linux Distro.

The "I want to get an MBA" started here where I live -Costa Rica- back in the 80s-90s and some universities started to graduate dozens of MBAs, with a very low quality, they just wanted to make money and people receiving that bad education just wanted to have a "Master" degree in anything, no matter what.

Now that the MBA turned into a non-value degree (because every body has or can get one easily) I'm starting to see a new trend: people is starting to get a "Project Manager" degree.

PMP for everyone !

And please do not forget that you have to pay to the PMI, a "non-profit organization", every 2 years for your certification to be valid. And don't complain about that. Please be kind and remember that they -PMI- need to travel everywhere in the world every week (and stay in good hotels of course) to show you why, they are "Making project management indispensable for business results.®" (pmi.org)

I thought that people hated Unity because of the icons on the left, but now I realize all the evil it causes.
