needlessly subjected to the horrors of an archaic

| I am neither a Microsoft basher or booster --
I've always felt that the question of what OS you run is much less interesting than
what you run on it -- but I did enjoy this site
which proves once again that whenever you're looking for someone to cross the
line between strongly-held beliefs and ludicrous over-the-top hyperbole,
the objectivists will always be there.
