[ILUG] Bob Metcalf's "Why Linux Will Fail."

In reference to:

Saw this in the Irish Times - some archeologists dug up the world's
oldest opinion piece from 10,471 BC.  So far they've deciphered:

    SquareWheelWorld
    ----------------
    "Why the Round Wheel Will Fail"
    by Zog Metcalf (inventor of the axel)

Hey Bob, give them a call, they're having some logic problems
with the rest.

PS  for those of you who aren't Bob Metcalf, he invented ethernet and
    predicted the internet would "crash" about five years ago.  In addition
    to wanting people to pay for poor s/w, he's keen to get people to pay
    "tolls" on the net.  Generally he seems pretty grouchy lately, anyone
    know the MIME type for Prozac?
