I almost took a vow to stay depressed. But now a ray of hope. By public demand (ahem even without ) I promise to be acerbic and spout black humour. Can u imagine using GNU/linux without being so spirited. I mean who would want to be a socialist distributing free software when the vulture capatalistas are circling overhead with gadzillions in cash barely able to avoid the next crash. But then you would have to be a sado-masochist with acute amenisia to use ie exploder on Windows eXtra Problems. And an abominable beast from hell to write programs you sell to customers for use on windows with an office suite on the 20th floor, particularly since i feel a desperate urge to leap from there every time is see a BSOD.
