Well, you said it yourself; BSD is not for you.  Being computer literate 
and being computer passionate are two different things.  If I did not 
have so much fun in hacking through the system and getting everything 
set up the way I want, I would have stuck with Windows as well.  
Windows functions perfectly well as a home desktop; I just wanted more.

BTW, how is copying an ISO image of FreeBSD to a CD harder than copying 
any other ISO to a CD?
