Kinda throwing the whole Unix philosophy right out the window, huh? Seems nonsensical to me, but I'm old and out of touch now, and well beyond any attempts at reformation.

Hmm... I don't know if the kernel supports 286 or not... What's the name of the processor? Cyrix?

Unix philosophy? You use Unix?

This thread started out so much fun. Now it sucks. However, true to it's nature, everything I am reading is gibberish.

PS: Let me 'splain: Ain't no Linux for 286. Never was.

Of course I do. You ain't been following the thread here?

And I also stick to the Unix philosophy even when writing code for Linux, because I've no desire to help anyone prove I'm a fool. Just about anyone who's a tad ahead of half a moron can, but I'm not going to help him, her, or them do it.

You sure its poison IVY???? My last job at Speedco I came into contact with some nasty chemicals that made my arms break out into what I thought was poison ivy... Got to the point both arms were covered and I went to the doctors.. It was contact dermatitis.. Hot showers and long sleeves made me itch till I would bleed.. Very painful.. Got cleared up and it came back within 20 minutes of contact with the grease.. I quit the job.. Now if I wear to tight of long sleeves my arms start to itch and will break out if I dont roll my sleeves up.. Just a thought.
