Ah, the classic Microsoft trap: you can get a refund on Windows
if you've never used it, but you need to use it to boot the machine
in order to replace it.

(Is there a corollary to Godwin's Law covering Microsoft in technical
discussions? :-)

I'm on the /bin/sh side of this discussion, even though I've been using
BSD in one form or another for over 16 years.  I realize, however, that
the hard-liners will *never* allow a change like this ... after all,
there's an infinitesimal chance that the rest of the world will suddenly
see the light and switch to csh.
