There's another plus beyond those.
You have something in common with other sufferers, so you have
something you can talk about to sort of get the ball rolling.
It's similar to staying in a homeless shelter, or suffering terminal
pancreatic cancer. Except those aren't as bad, and finding people with
those types of problems are a bit more difficult than finding people
afflicted with Windows.
