About 10 years ago I just got tired of my machine not running windows fast. I don't like to buy a computer every two years it should work a lot longer. So I switched to Linux and what I found was manna from heaven. Not only did I get a quick OS (at least for a Pentium) but I got to actually code again. (I didn't like having to pay for VB so I didn't.) I had as much fun as when I got my first computer, an Apple ][e. The only thing I didn't like was the GUI. Most of the WM tried to mimic Windows - which I still never liked.


Eventually, I switched to MacOSX for 1. the stability of it's OS. 2. The GUI is perfect, & 3. It just always work without tweaking it at all.


That's how I came back to Apple.
