Just thought I'd say well done to all involved for making them so public. I saw an ad on ESPN for the XO laptops. Just thought I’d say well done to all involved for making them so public.

Thank you for the followup comments about how it isn't relevant to Australia, but that makes it no less relevant there. This is certainly my blog, or are you suggesting that Jeff can't comment on my blog? :) Thank you for your questions, but please try to keep your comments constructive. My quote about the Ubuntu word was from the Ubuntu site, you are always welcome to direct any questions about it to them :) Hi AlphaG, the Iceland blog was me reposting someone else’s blog which I found interesting..

Actually I guess I am bringing balance where there isn't any. For example the Iceland blog previously is completely irrelevant and I suspect completely wrong but that of course doesn't stop the few painting a picture that is very different from the truth. But being able to retransmitt a falacy still doesn't make it reality, I will stop whining now and return to my corpse that we maggots enjoy so much I am confused on whose blog this is, does it really represent Pia or Jeff or are you so melded you are one in the same.

Consider, however, the relevance of the information to the audience, rather than the precise etymology. But it must be asked: Do you ever post non whiny-little-maggot comments? Always the whinge about Windows or pointing out some minor quibble. At least bring humour to your pedantry, or go away and spend your time more productively/wisely.
