I've rebooted my machine twice since March...

...if that isn't mindblowing to a Windows user, I don't know what is.
One, was a kernel upgrade the other was my roommate three fingering the wrong
keyboard.
The fact that I can run an application at home and display it at work 15
miles away is still mindblowing to me.
The fact that I can count the reasons I still use Windows on one hand
whereas I cannot count all the really nice things that have made me more
productive with Linux without an abacus is not mindblowing, but gives me a
great sense of satisfaction.
With Windows I fight the OS, with Linux I fight my ignorance. There is a
world of difference there.
