Then one day I was blessed with a complete CPU/board failure. I built a new 64bit system to replace it, and told my wife I wasn't going to waste half my machine with windows. I figure, I paid for the 64 bits, I want them all!
She swore at me for a couple weeks, and I'll admit the relationship was strained. Now I overhear her talking to friends who complain about commercial software. Tears come to my eyes and I beam with pride when I hear my wife say, "Just use Gimp/Audacity/OpenOffice/Thunderbird/Firefox/VLC/Linux. It's _way_ better!" Occasionally she pines for her iTunes, but our relationship has never been better. So just use Linux, your wife will thank you (someday). ;-Daniel Fussell Linux: better for relationships too. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
