Wow, the thread still lives. First we'll try to make an analogy to
women, which coming from a bunch of guys is really funny. Dude, all I
know is I dont understand women. Everytime I think I do I find out I'm
wrong. So that whole thread is completely lost on me. I dont get it,
I'll never get it, and I'm probably better off for realizing it.
On to politics. I dont get involved in 'world issues'. I dont care whats
going on on the other side of the world somewhere where I cant do
anything anyways. I prefer the hands on approach. I'm more into whats
going on near me and what I can personally do. I'm probably way too
introverted, but it works for me. Still, politics doesnt seem right to
me.
Ok, this is probably going to make me look really bad but I think a
better analogy to this whole OS thing is probably the ever present quest
for a high. To me windows reminds me of a narcotic. It feels good and in
the short term you have fun. Ultimately its expensive in more ways than
just money. Unix on the otherhand reminds me of an endorphin high. You
have to work for it, there's a little pain involved, and you wind up
better off for it in the long run. Windows is a 'quick fix' or an 'easy
out'. Unix is more of a 'commitment' or a 'workout'.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
