Do it because you can...   Ya know, a few years back I did something
just because I could, and I got myself in a whole heap of trouble for
it.   It turned out that there were these people that didn't like what I
was doing, and they took advantage of some unwritten laws to stop me
doing what it was that I'm doing.

Now, after several years of doing nothing, I'm ready to do it again...
Only this time, I'm not just doing it because I can, I'm doing it
because it has to be done.   And while some may see me as the crazy one,
most see genius, because those who are crazy enough to think that they
can change the world, are the ones that do.

Sorry, I had to take this opportunity to exploit an old Apple
commercial.

Anyway, I know what you mean.   I first started playing with NetBSD and
Linux for something to do...  I wanted something different to break the
monotiny and boredom of everyday computing existence.   It turns out
that I happen to prefer *nix better than anything else that I've
previously used, so it all worked out for the best.
