Quoting:For as long as I can remember, Windows has flipped on the technical switch in my brain. There's just something about it that gets me into development mode. When I'm using that OS, I have a desire deep down in my bones to program something, analyze a technical specification, or take part in some other complicated procedure.


You're not alone, Brandon. We all want to fix it.

That does it. I'm calling the Humane Society. No one should treat dogs the way _you people_ are right now! Comparing windows to dogs! It's criminal, I tell ya!

I agree. Let's start comparing it to politicians instead.

Not that they aren't already. . . .

Pardon my cynicism, I'm sorry. I'm jaundiced, I guess. Watching both Microsoft and politicians twisted my psyche! :-(
