After working in Unix for years, once I retired, I find that I can't
quite get myself to do Linux. I have tried a couple of times, but each
time, after making a dual boot of Linux and then realizing I had done
nothing with it for months, I hauled out Partition Magic again, deleted
the Linux, and enlarged my windows partition to reclaim the space :-)

Although I didn't end up able to "boot the thing and have everything
ready to go", especially with Win Me and earlier. However, I'm very
modest, so you'll have to decide if I was looking cool :-)
