<jamesd> "... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a
house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and
architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a
little different. Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls
have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the
floor under your bed."

<sheenmaster> jamesd: being an OpenServer or UNIXWare user is
like living in a house that hasn't been touched by a carpenter
or inspected by an architect in years.  Every morning when you
wake up, the neighbor's house is a little better.  You are
justing thankful that the floor hasn't fallen out from beneath
your bed, cause you know it'll be half a decade before its
fixed.

<sheenmaster> jamesd: being a Windows user is like living is a
cheap vegas hotel.  Every morning, you wake up with a new
disease.  The floor beneath your bed is likely to fall through
at any time, but at least you can burn the hotel down and
rebuild it or move to another room.

running. Of course you get it all back when you reboot..."
