You go, girl!!!

I began by dual booting Linux with Win95 for two years.  Then, about 
sisteen months ago I noticed that I couldn't remember when I had last
booted into Win95.  Prior to that epiphony, I downloaded MoneyDance, 
the last pgm I needed to replace my Win95 functionality.  So, on
Jan 1, 2000, I started the new year by scrubbing Win95 off my PC.
I've been free of M$ and license fees every since and havn't missed 
it at all.  I purchased my PC on Dec 27, 1996 and from that date to
March 5, 1997 I had to reinstall Win95 FIVE times.  In disgust I started 
looking for an alternative OS, thinking I might return to OS/2.  Then
I found Linux.  In September 1997 and replace RH5.1 with SuSE 5.3.
My last OS crash was in October of 1997, when a C++ program I was
tinkering with locked up my box, forcing me to cycle power.  Except
for lightening storms and upgrades of SuSE my box has never been
off nor has it crashed.  Ya gotta respect performance like that!
