Well, I would've wanted to make the same claim and sound all lofty but I'm
still a slave to Win95 right now. Hopefully once that Free Time I've been
yammering about comes around I'll finally get my Linux server up and
running and be cleansed of many of my daily toils.

Then I start work on the class action lawsuit against Bill Gates for
passing off Win95 as an operating system and causing untold damage to the
world's economy due to loss of productivity, not to mention data and
innovation.
