Had my hubcaps stolen today 1908I think your question in the first sentence was answered more than adequately in the second. Why buy when you can steal? Forget parts store hubcaps...

Linux, 99.9% of the time, baby! I used to be a MS WHIZ, knew their OS's inside out, upside down and backwards. Also got sick of the Pop-Ups, the 'influenza', the people knocking on my backdoor (Firewall Alert:64.128.105.4 is attempting to access your system...), etc, etc...
But thanks for the tip! I've been using Linux for over a year, haven't really played around with it (trying to make sure this or that piece of hardware works properly; right now stands at about 99%...the ONLY concession I'll give to Windows...)
A little anecdote: I was working Tech Support for a Fortune Five company, and heard there was this thing called Chicago out. Sent an e-mail and asked to be put on the Beta test. Made it for the last two releases before the Real Deal.
Loaded it up on a Friday, played with it until Sunday afternoon, and then reloaded 3.11. Wednesday afternoon, on the way home, decided that it was a pretty cool OS afterall, and reloaded it that evening. Never looked back! Windows '95 OSR 2.5 was my FAVOURITE OS of all time, followed very closely by NT 4.0 SP 5. Don't know WHAT the hell MS did after that! Ran NT right up till I switched to Linux...
