Wesley Parish on Tue 1st Jun 2004 02:46 UTC  I've got both PNET
and MONO downloaded and as soon as I can get my PC out of
storage, I'll start using them to learn C# and dotNET.  FYI,
I've also got Linux Mandrake and FreeBSD on my PC - so my
relationship to specific OSes isn't so much political as it is
pragmatic. Ie, Windows won't let me in on the fun of debugging,
so it's nowhere near as useful as either Linux or the *BSDs. gcc
- and now OpenWatcom - is crossplatform, so if I want the most
return, I don't use Microsoft.  By all means, sling off at each
other about the strengths and weaknesses of the various
technical aspects - keep the personal slanging off to yourselves
- the rest of the world doesn't need to hear about it.  If GNOME
and KDE can work together, then so can PNET and MONO - that
Microsoft doesn't want to, is Microsoft's problem - leave it
with them.
