    Howdy Mr Waugh,

    Any chance we could get a link for the QotD? I’m damned if I can find the “Just Works” blog, although I suspect part of the problem is that every search for that phrase turns up a billion hits for Apple products…

    Cheers,

    Mike Sipior

    That was my story. My first computer was a 486DX4 with a Sound Galaxy 16bit audio card, which was sold as compatible with Sound Blaster. It simply never worked right.

    The lack of drivers, support and a design that emulated SB, i was forced to go to the rhetoric field.

    Now I have ended my career and work as a developer. My home computer runs kubuntu and I am pretty sure sound will always work, it’s well supported in the kernel.

    My conclusion?? Fuck Apple

    Mike,

    No link. The occasion was not URI addressable. Good lord.

    Apologies, I obviously misunderstood the context of the quote.

    Mike, don’t feel bad; if you had not asked I would have.
