But the thing is I don't care if some people can't see my page properly. 
Other people might care but I can't be bothered. I'm not saying other web

Well windoze is just the most fuck-up OS in the world but unfortunately 
I've given in to the dark side because there are some applications I need 
to use on the platform. I'm no advocate of win95. It sucks. It stinks. 
For some reason money keeps disappearing everytime I run it. I'm waiting 
for an official release of the PowerPC Amiga or BeBox in Australia. Then 
I'm going smash the PC to smithers. :)

: find a more [cost|time] efficient way to get your work/play done.

It all boils down to the availability of the software I need on the platform.
