Like Sands Through the Hourglass
The guy at the next table over sat down at the same time that I did. By happenstance, he and I both pressed the power buttons on our laptops at the same moment. My machine is now fully on, booted up, logged into and wirelessly connected. I have started my browser, checked to see if I have any emails, which I didn't, navigated to Blogger.com and written all of this and he is still waiting for his long-on screen to come up.
I should point out that his machine is obviously much newer than mine. I think that's Windows 7 that he's running. (He just got to the log-on screen) I remind you that we started our machines at the same time; this post will be finished and on the internet before his desktop icons appear.
By best guess, it's taken three and a half minutes for his machine to come up and it's not done yet. Mine did it in under thirty seconds.
All Linux, all the time, baby.

If you had told me you were going to write an article about LINUX, I would have said: "How boring." If you had told me you had just written an article about LINUX, and then I read it, I would have said: "How boring." You did not tell me the article was about LINUX. It was pretty good.
