- To you, a PC is for windows, a mac is for Mac, end of story. Installing something other then windows (such as linux) on a PC is not something in your mind.

- The crashing and problems are considered plain normal, just like it's normal for fords to break down and have to be fixed. You take this with no complaints because it's completly normal and there's nothing wrong with it.

- You can't wait for Microsoft to release that first beta so you can be one of the first to try it out on your production computer.

- You finally decide to use linux, and after doing something such as adding a user, you think this new OS is stupid for not asking you to restart, because it's a must to restart after performing a complex change to the configuration!

- You insist that Internet Explorer is W3C standard, and all other browsers are just rip offs trying to beat the best.

- You still have that default green desktop, and you never bothered changing it because "it's cool".

- You freak out to learn that Microsoft did not release any new patches for a whole week, and keep your line disconnected and only connect for 5 seconds to check if there's any new updates, because it's not normal to stay on the internet that long if it has not been patched in days!

- You overhear people bashing Microsot and rudely tell them that if it was not for Microsoft, we'd all be running DOS. (think about it... )

- You finished installing Red Hat and it only took 20 minutes, and you can't figure out why it's not going back to the setup to "contunue", when you boot for the first time, and end up reinstalling it a bunch of times.

- You try to find "Linux for Windows" but can't find it anywhere.

i actually did this with win2k. i did the install, rebooted it, didn't remove the cd, when through all of it again, rebooted it, didn't remove the cd redid the install ect.
like 8 or nine times!

lol yeah the auto cd boot can sometimes be a pain if you forget about it. Once I left the auto boot turned on and happened to have my mandrake CD in, and it started installing when I turned on the computer and left to go somewhere else. I came back to a non bootable partition and had to reinstall it from scratch lol.

I was thinking about that recently. They are machines damnit!

And machines never do mistakes.

By nature they should not, but humans make mistakes building them, and it's probably impossible for any type of machine to be built without even a single small flaw. It's human nature to do errors.

even if a machine built a machine.. the first one would have flaws, thereby inheritantly passing the flaws down.

Yes, since a human would of had to built that one. So technically it would be imposible to build something 100% flawless. But computers are probably 99.9% flawless alone, and then it all depends on the software. Linux might be 95% while windows might be 70% (windowsME 10% )

Come to think about it, this sort of proves the big bang did not take place, since it would be like a planet creating another planet and if you consider earth alone, it's pretty perfect if you rule out what we did to it (pollution etc).

don't get too carried away... machines and the origin of life/existance can't be used in comparison.
