Oh, c'mon, Floyd. Get real. I've read your posts longer than anyone here, I think, and our history goes back to another non-photography newsgroup that I still follow. *No one* tops you in gratuitous insults.

Floyd L. Davidson
I do not post gratuitous personal insults.

You need to look up the words and understand the meaning.

Tony Cooper
Personally, I don't understand why you are bothering about this particular subject matter. How you process your images, and the OS and the software, is completely immaterial. A good photographer sees what is photographable and processes that image to its best advantage. How that processing is done, on what OS and with what software, is no one's business but the person who took the image.

All this dick-waving about who uses the better machine or the better OS is ridiculous. Why anyone cares how someone else processes their image is beyond me. Especially, when it's someone like the noisiest dick-waver here who has *never* shown us that he takes or processes *any* image.

Floyd L. Davidson
So why are you among those going on about how a couple of us very appropriately answered to OP's questions?

We aren't the ones posting the crap, YOU ARE.

Tony Cooper
And, especially, when a fantastic shot could be linked here and no one could tell from the image what brand of computer or what OS or what program was used to process that image.

Floyd L. Davidson
Then why are you joining in with the list of people dumping on the OP and those who are running Linux?

I didn't, and I'm not. I haven't responded to the OP. My only comments about running Linux have been in the "I don't give a shit if you do or don't" nature.

My only comment that even touched on the OP's question was correcting someone about what SavageDuck said about concentrating more on OS than on photography. That comment was about how to read what the Duck said, not a comment taking any position on the use of Linux.

Be clear on this, Floyd...I don't think the choice of anyone else's computer brand, OS, or editing software is at all important to me. If the user gets good results, that's all I look at.

You've objected to "gratuitous insults" and I've said you do this as much - if not more - than anyone else. You've done it here. Your statement that I'm posting "crap" about the use of Linux is completely uncalled for.
