I thought we had finished discussing this topic but seems that some people
have a hard time understanding the concept of *choice*.
I have a PC with Windows, and I have absolutely no intention to try (again)
to install Linux. Maybe in 1 or 2 years, but right now it does not have what
made the original Amiga interesting: the fun factor. All I found in my
previous installations was the "headache factor."
