Yeah. But at least we tell them to get Linux. That's a lot more help than they 
would get from Microsoft tech support.

Don't take that e-mail *too* seriously. Look at the last line.

I don't think software will *really* be writing itself anytime soon, but it 
interesting to speculate. Someday it may happen.

Nor will I. I just give out the homework and then don't show up to grade it...

Speaking of which, I hope you guys aren't *too* offended that I no longer show 
up at hacking society. I swear, if I could "apt-get" a better laptop, I 
would.

"apt-get money" doesn't work either :P
