Just shows how truly different peoples experiences can be. I started out in
computing in 1983 with an Atari 800Xl. Moved up to the Atari ST line around
1985 or so. Kept right on, keepin' on with an Atari Falcon, one of which, in
a highly modded form, I have to this day. I ran MINT on it - a Unix, Linux,
FreeBSD variant. After Atari Corp folded for good, and I needed something
newer, it was almost with a feeling of "I'm home" that I installed Mandrake
v7.0 on my first hand-built PC.
Then my sons wanted a Windows 98 partition on their comps for games that
weren't available under Linux.
Oh my God! - the shock of actually using that POS software. Ugh and a half!
So for me, I could never look at Windows as easier.
Amazing how different perspectives can be, isn't it? (Not right or wrong, just
different). :-)
