*LMAO* Great spin! I'll annotate further (it's hard as a third party though).

It's passe. You know what they say: monoculture is for those who...

Precisely. Be conventional, follow the old trend like sheep and voila! Before
you know it, everyone around just wears some drab-olive shirt and sings for
El Presidente ¢astro-Gate$.

I haven't worn jeans since my mid-teens. And I gave up on the pacifier when I
was about 2. When did /you/ give up the pacifier?

I told you I haven't for almost a decade. But don't change the subject. Just
admit that Windows users suck (pun intended).

I rarely see any of them. They're always in their dorm working on something.
Windows maintenance can really suck up one's leisure time.

I told you. They are in 'bunker mode', always trying to catch up with
deadlines while that computer crashes at the worst of moments or the
critical patch doesn't come. For some strange reasons, Windows users get an
exemption every first Tuesday of the month. I feel as though I'm
discriminated against.

Maybe it's just sympathy that gets them that special treatment.

These aren't the same guys who scored 800 in the SAT's though. Ballmer, for
example, despite his perfect score, struggled with malware for 2 entire
days. His efforts were futile and fruitless, too.
So tell me, how come I see more and more Linux users every day? Is it some
sort of evolution? A dying breed theory? How come I never see children whose
parents urge them to use Microsoft Windows?
>> could never score
What about the sperm bank? Oh, wait. They usually take donations from male,
so there's nothing to offer males.

Scored or scooped? I think you have a little typo there.

I'm not saying anything. But many started with Windows in the previous
decade. They picked up Linux when they realised Windows was a big-budget
movie with a story that goes nowhere.
> So tell me, how did they take it?
Easy-peesy. Just pat the CD on the tray. Click here and there. Let it roll
for 15 minutes and you're done. Not only do you get an operating system, but
you also enjoy a wealth of wonderful applications.
>> bad sports.
Why don't you try it yourself?
> Thought so.
Don't just think about it. Here's a CD. Give it a go and phone me if you have
any question.
