 Funny, cuz I don't get that impression at all. Until I started using
Linux primarily (about 5 years ago), I did MacOS/Windows support for the
faculty while I was studying. I *always* hated Windows and was a die-
hard Mac evangelist. My 'office' machine at the time was a NeXT slab,
and I loved that two. However, I really don't like Gnome, at work I use
and really like KDE, I never liked MacOS X (the supposed 'NeXT' Step
descendant) but on my slow PIII box at home, I run WindowMaker when I'm
in a hurry (most of the time).

Cheers,
