Was it me or another Ralf? I don't think that Linux will have a chance during our lifetime. But we never know! Was it in the film "Bladerunner", all the futuristic Atari advertising? We don't have Atari anymore. I never could imagine that some day we would go back from parallel to serial and today I'm using SATA only. However, what ever my claims were, right now I completely agree with you. > There are more people using Linux variants in China than the whole > population of the USA... That's a good argument and I guess you're right, but China isn't known for their films and audio recordings, regarding to this we should take a look at the Western world. China is missing a little bit of understanding what "free" does mean, not a good place for artists. http://sacom.hk/mission That reminds me of the Simpsons. People were waiting in front of an Apple store to get an iThingy and they made a joke about the rareness of iProducts, so that there's the need to stay overnight, to get the last iThingy. They showed that an assembly belt did connect the Apple Store with the factory. I guess most people today have some Android, Windows or Apple thing and don't care for desktop machines anymore, especially not for professional workflows. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
