LOL, yeah. I am running KDE 3.1b1 on Xdarwin right now. that's classic.
i assume you mean the letter "X," not the roman numeral "ten." they have to say "ex," and then it gets on my nerves. i remember when i was a preswitcher though. i was like, "windowshading? is that like the shadows behind the windows and toolbars?" gotta give the newbies and the non-linuxers their leeway, eh?

Absolutely. Of course, I think it's strange that people refer to XWindows as X11 as if there wasn't a version 10 prior to 11.
I've found quite often that people tend to leave out details, no matter how well they know a subject.
There are other things here to concern me, such as people referring to Mac OS X as OSX. 😀
