because i like the looks on everyone's face when i say: "windoze...??? HA! i use LINUX!" windoze bored me, made me mad with it's crashes, made me feel stupid with dialogs saying stuff like "the program caused an error and had to exit. sorry for the inconvenience", i hated it when i installed XP and it had less suport for my hardware than 98 did, it just looks and feels moron-oriented. so then i asked myself why not use windows 95 or better? i did. i use linux. ;o) Damian
