[GEM Development] Slashdotted and comments

[Dostal, Chris E.]

Agreed there..
 
I guess with many of the "replies" on that site, you have people coming at the discussion from various angles. Some reply for the sake of replying, some automatically congratulate and some choose to automatically negate anything.
 
"This makes it to news - must be a slow news day" - wonder how many hours he's put in to a project to have that said about it, and him? .. people do far less and get far more coverage on seemingly irrelivant subjects.
 
Although I'm not what you'd call an active member of FreeDOS and Open/FreeGEM.. I watch with interest, and smile whenever we see a little article in a magazine, or a comment on a forum..  I'm also the first to jump up if someone ridicules another for putting effort into something..
 
It's a great OS, a great project - and there's certainly great members of it all here..
 
Chris.
 
PS: Hope it's a bit warmer up your way Peter Green (if ya still floating around on this list) - it's sure as cold here!! arrrgh

Subject: RE: [GEM Development] OpenGEM got slashdotted



Shane,
  Don't worry about your ego. Quite the reverse. The fact that you were
"slashdotted" is a *good* thing.  OpenGEM is truly great software.  It is
not bloated like a certain OS from Microsoft.  OpenGEM *works* and works
well.
  I have been using computers for over 25 years and have used almost every
GUI/OS there is to use. And I can tell you that OpenGEM is by far better
than most of the commerical OS'es.
  So keep up the good work. Long live OpenGEM!  And you get a free Beer,
Irish Beer at that.
