I've learned to accept this as a fact of life: Microsoft could write THE perfect software suite and OS for anyone and sell it for beans, and there would still be an army of bloggers working hard to "fight the man"
the problem runs deeper than the software. some people get so attached to their habits, they form a culture, an attitude, or even a self-identity through the technologies they use. we all know someone like this.

I read Jeff Atwood's article,
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000796.html
and I consider it the final argument to folks like this.
Um, is there anything in the post that caused this comment?
I posted the image because I was excited that I could do something like that in PowerPoint, and I was very pleased with the result.
