Ignorant, yes, but more pleasant than reality! (-:

If it didn't constantly tangle up floppy disks on my laptop, I
could live quite happily with Linux. The World's Most Successful
Virus (AKA Windoze) doesn't tangle up floppies but does use about
a third of the HD just for the OS stuff, and wants 4x more memory
than the machine has, just to boot. Even then, it won't admit that
it's still just a fancy DOS shell at heart... (-:
