    Cash? Billions? I highly doubt ANYONE has billions of dollars in bills and coins... Anything else than physical money is NOT cash...

    In accountacxy circles cash inclused cash in a current bank account. I.e
    no assets need to be liquidated to release it.

    Apple: running on borrowed money and borrowed time.

    Given how long it takes a Mac to boot, they will need all the borrowed
    time they can get!


    This is in reply to a 9 (nine) year old post,
    Pointless...

    I would delete Windows if it were possible.

    What is hard about deleting Windows or do you mean Doug
    that you have work that can only be done in Windows?


    Doug,
    Registered Linux user.

    I have deleted Windows by accident more times than
    I want to remember.

    Not having Microsoft Windows installed is the best protection ever
    against accidentally deleting it. :p

    The only Microsoft Windows version I've ever really used [*] on a
    computer of my own was NT 4.0 Workstation, from late 1997 until late
    1999. I've been exclusively using GNU/Linux since then, and before NT
    4.0 I was using IBM OS/2 2.x.

    [*] My first ever computer — a Brother 386-DX — came pre-installed with
    MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0. I've used that for only 6 months and
    then I switched to OS/2, because that's what I wanted to have from
    the onset, but OS/2 2.0 wasn't commercially available yet when I
    bought that computer. I also have an old box sitting here unused in
    a corner — it's a Pentium MMX with 32 MiB of RAM — which I got for
    free and which I've set up with Windows 98SE because I intended to
    donate that machine to a friend, but I have in the meantime lost
    contact with her, which is why I still have it in my possession.
