Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)

But seriously, arguing about which side the window decorations should be on is
like arguing which flavour of cake tastes best.

It took me two or three days to get used to having them on the opposite side the
few times in my life where I switched from windows to mac to Gnome and then to
Unity, but after a few days I got used to them.

Here, have a slice of my chocolate cake. Chocolate is scientifically proven to
be the best cake ever. :)
