	To each his own, huh? There is nothing fun about programming a PC.
	It is irritating and frustrating to have to re-invent EVERYTHING.
	The documentation is vapor and the system is so restrictive that
	most useful user conveniences are impossible. Want just one example?
	How about escaping characters on the command line? If you think that
	there's anything good about PC's, you've never used a real computer.
