You're exactly like a friend of mine who recently bought himself a new
$3,000 Triple-SLI gaming PC.  He's been and still is a heavy Mac user
for several years because he simply couldn't stand Windows anymore.
He's got a seriously short fuse when it comes to Windows.  I mean
SHORT.  The neighbors several floors down probably heard his screams
the night we set up his new system.  Its working perfectly now, but
damn did he get pissed.  I was waiting to see his head spin around
Linda Blair style.
