You know you've become a unix user when...
Jeremy Malcolm
2. You used to argue about Windows vs Macintosh; now you argue about
Linux vs FreeBSD.
3. You no longer say "computer", you say "box".
4. You don't need to use pirated software anymore.
5. Calling /([^\+]).*\1/ a "regular expression" doesn't strike you as
a contradiction.
6. You remember IP addresses more easily than phone numbers.
7. The X application you use most is xterm.
8. You spend two hours writing a script to do something you could have
done manually in five minutes.
9. You named your cat TuX.
10. You can't remember why you used to hate vi.

It's much quicker if you put doskey in your autoexec.bat and alias ls
to dir. Takes a bit of memory, but is a lot faster then the computer
having to search for hard drive for the ls.bat file.
From someone who has done this too ^_^;; And then gets annoyed when on
the unix machines they have DOS commands aliased to unix equivilants.
