Quite eloquent...
Adrian,
As I read your prose I don't see a bias towards a specific
platform. Congratulation, it's well written.

I'm a Mac and Windows user, preferring the Mac platform
very much more than Windows. Interestingly I paid the MS
tax moving from DOS to Windows 3.1, to 95, to 98SE, to
W2K, to XP; not a big deal actually just a cost of doing
business. Then I paid the tax to move to Mac, the best
computer tax move I've made.

Again, I enjoyed your well balanced article.
