papersky on linux/dos/windoze:

Dos is like an old dog. It knows the old tricks really well, it's eager and even enthusiastic to go through them for me, but it can't learn new tricks any more.

Windows is like a teenage thug, it won't do what you want, it swears it did, it won't communicate, it leaves trash all over the place, it breaks things, then it laughs at you when it thinks you're not looking.

Linux is like a geek, it's very busy doing very important things like running the universe, and it would help you but it thinks you ought to be able to figure stuff out for yourself. redbird said it's a user friendly operating system that knows who its friends are, and that's about it. It only wants primary relationships. It's not really an operating system, it's a hobby, and I don't want it as a hobby. I can run it, but I tolerates me as a luser -- and I don't have a sysadmin.

It's the lovechild of a geek and an artist ;)

(I'm convinced the screen savers could play a big role in selling OS X systems. Heck, I've never before seen screensavers that make me want to not work.)

In a word: flying toasters.

I have the beach screensaver. I feel I should use sunblock whenever it comes on.
