Too many Easter Eggs in the almighty notepad.exe
Too much time spent on Solitaire (I must have burned many zozens of hours
playing Solitair on WIndows 3.11)
We could also add:
Too many crashes
Too many reboots
Too many CD's that contain drivers (otherwise supplied with the Linux
distribution)
Too many rants... *smile*
