Hey man - I never said anything about not wanting to learn - that was
something that
you inferred.  Sorry if you are too closed minded to realize that some
things are faster
and better in win.  I never thought I would ever say that, but it's
true.  I'm not against
DOS - I love DOS, it rules.. For some things.  For other things, Win is
better and faster.
It depends on what you are doing.

As for using the power - you seem to be a unix 'power-user', interested
in power..  So
you must program..  Do you program in C?  How bout ASM?  I program a lot
of C - but a lot
more of ASM.  Why?  Faster - a hell of a lot faster.  So if you don't
program ASM does
that mean I think you don't want to learn how to use a 'more powerful
tool'?  Of course
not, ASM is not for everyone, and someone who doesn't know ASM can still
get a lot done.
It's a matter of preference, or personal taste.  Similarly I would not
say that the 48
has so much more power than the 85 that it's like a 'Chevy and an
F-18'.  So I can
probably get just as much done with my 85 as anyone else with their 48;
so it's personal
preference.

I didn't mean for this to get personal, and like I said in the first
letter, I never
wanted to start a religious war...
