To quote the old comic strip, "Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling?"
I started my computing life on an Apple II, or ][, or whatever their silly
pretentious designation was. Nice machine, inflexible and overpriced. And
really now, stubbornly clinging to one-button mice is just silly, though I
believe OS X has made the big leap to right-clicking.
Then DOS/winderz, then lo I discovered Linux, and sanity and peace came upon
me. Computing was fun again, for I could sleep through the night, and not
have my life interrupted by panicky phone calls.
Yep, it's a wonderful thing, this here Linux stuff.
