Even a porpoise? I once asked one why it was wearing a lab coat.
It said, "Scientific porpoise."

I use rubber bands to hold the Velcro straps in place.

Heh. As I once had a multi-boot setup of Windows, OS/2 and linux on a 486,
I was more stunned. than frightened, although sheer, unadulterated panic
was in there somewhere (or maybe not).
I started out with Linux v0.91 and had to download half the distro one
month and the other half next month since my ISP had a 5MB a month limit.

I know one person who's coming up on two decades: he's been

OK, I exaggerated slightly. I started using Linux for mission-critical tasks
around the beginning of 2000, so it's probably been slightly over one
decade. Does that count? Before that, I used OS/2 - which is known to be
even simpler.
Sorry if I frightened you.

This thread has been a real eye-opener for me. Having been a Linux user for
decades (with a caged Windows98 running under VMware for special needs), I
had passively gone along with the propaganda spread by Linux afficionados
that Windows was an operating system for the technically challenged.
But if just mucking about with the Task Bar can generate weeks of discussion
