I dont know how many others feel as I but I personally have used Windows: 
3.1, 95, 98 1 & 2, Nt, Me and 2000 and never once got along with or was 
saticefied with any of them. As for Linux and KDE I have had no better 
experience with a pc since I started using it. In fact my PC has never worked 
as good as it does now. The support I get from this mailing list among a few 
other lists has been more than enough for me on the few occasions I have 
needed help.

Ignore the bulls*** and keep up the good work guys.
