And it's me who's the dumb techie?

Check the link below. For years my preachings on how good synaptic is/
was have been hushed by moronic PC users and now they're going apeshit
with AppStores. I predict a million of them will popup and quickly
become irrelevant, just as download.com did before them, due to all
those thousands of apps that do the same thing, all look alike but the
names are different.

If you think the Apple AppStore is in any way successful (still
waiting for the real numbers) then it's because it's *exclusive* and
*targetted*.

Please, someone, anyone, put a stop to this before it gets out of hand
and those poor users have to install tens of AppStores on their poor,
little and gray and dull PCs to download those copies of shareware
software they don't really need. Unless one of those AppStores
supports illegal torrents, then we're talkinng business.
