I couldn't resist having another go. This time, for a change, I used Konquie,
which has no ad-blocking facilities (Firefox has about 4 blockers that
directly or indirectly achieve this). I still see no girl *frown*. Whoever

happily drop a can of soda if it makes her bend. *smile*

The adverse way of looking at this would involve posing as follows:
Micro&oft gives you all the stubborn stains while Linux leads to tender and
smooth operation.
Additionally, Micro&oft would make a great name for a brand of toilet paper.
You have to wipe very often.
