In the end, they all have to admit they love Linux or they wouldn't be 
spending as much time as they do around here. I love Linux even though 
my hardware doesn't often cooperate with it. My current computer does, 
but I've shot myself in the foot by investing so heavily in Microsoft's 
platform that migrating would require me to sacrifice something. Had I 
continued buying DVDs and ripping them like I used to - because I 
believed in truly _owning_ a product I bought - I wouldn't be in this 
predicament. Unfortunately, when Linux makes me angry, I often 
"retaliate" by jumping back into Windows hard and buying exclusive 
content... like a housewife who sleeps with some loser to spite her 
husband. It's sad, but I'm admitting to it.
