Hey! He's right! Who you calling a user?! If anyone deserves to be snotty 
about the superiority of their OS, it has to be a Linux 
SysAdminRootSuperUserManager. How many PC owners can say that they 
_compiled_ their own OS? Neverming that you usually don't have to 
recompile the damn kernal to install a sound card! (ducking)

I like ALE, too. So I won't comment on the relative difficulty of 
pronouncing a one syllable word vs a two syllable word. :-)

Cheers,
Gary
