I lived in a [Microscoft|Microsoft]-free fifth-of-a-household. (Unfortunately, the rest of my family are too closed-minded to convert from [Windows].) Then my family got a new computer (but kept the old one (for me! :) )), but now only the [Windows] XP computer is connected to the Internet. Oh well, at least it's convenient not having to default to Windows on the old one.

I look forward to being a professional programmer, hopefully with [Java] on [Linux].

!My Controversial Opinions
-* I am converted to

It's such geeky fun, with so many modes, even Java... Now I finally understand this quote[5].
+* I am an
[Emacs]ian.

* I am partial to WindowMaker. Once you get adapted to its paradigm, you just can't wholeheartedly accept anything else. (Like with [Linux]!)
* I prefer [Oranges] to [Apples], but I prefer mandarins to both.
*I dislike:
** [Perl] (too simple, too slow and doesn't scale) (See, and perhaps add to, [WhyIHatePerl].)
** MacromediaFlash (I am a Javist) ''[Flash|MacromediaFlash] is evil, if you like [Java] or otherwise. The web is about content, not flashy lights.''
