 cl> Move to Linux.

I keep saying that I could do that, I run Linux almost exclusively on my 
laptops. My desktop has remained on Windows, and I just migrated my BBS 
over to a VM. I'd toyed with the idea of moving it to Linux, but ended up 
copying the installation over to a fresh copy of Windows and fired it up.

Windows just *works* for me, partly because I've been running it for so long 
that it's comfortable. When it doesn't work anymore, I'll probably move to a 
BSD, as that's more my F/OSS style.
