LOL.

Last time I did a clean install it took the better part of a day before
the system was basically usable for the kind of things I do with it. It
took a week before I had it as good as it was ever going to get. As
an example, it took an hour just to install all the special fonts that
I need. Why so long just to install fonts? Because several of them were
no longer on the websites where I got them before and I had to search
all over to find them. Ditto for applications.

Some of us use a lot of non-mainstream apps that take a long time to
get installed. And then there is the matter of personal preferences and
configurations to replace. (Now, where was the button to make that work
the way I like it - can't remember - spend an hour searching the web
for the answer before finally re-figuring it out.)

Oh damn, I think I just rekindled the war between the 'fresh install'
people and the 'just keep upgrading' folks.
