- As an avid OS/2 Warp user who is about to install Linux on his other
- computer, I have a lot of respect for NT. It's very stable and solid, like
- a big rock. it's also heavy and unmanagable, like a big rock. slow to the
- point of immovable, like a big rock. unintuitive and unimpressionable, like
- a big rock. You can't crash it, but you can't crash your computer when it's
- turned off either.
