Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.

Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.

DOS is for those who want to know why their computer doesn't work.

Windows is for those who don't want to know why their computer doesn't
work.

Those descriptions are great. But with Linux I got very tired of
knowing why my wifi card didn't work, and via the magic of Fink and
Darwin Ports, I just turn my Mac into a Linux box (actually a
Mach/FreeBSD box, but same difference) with working wifi. Now I'm very
happy NOT to know why my wifi card works.

The Mac thing of only being able to resize windows from the lower right
corner, and the click-to-focus thing is going to kill me though....

P.S. What are you doing at Princeton? Or are you just jealous that I'm
