At the risk of setting off an e-mail forest fire, I should note that
"upgrade" is tendentious at least and that the real cost comes in space and
time and the pain of finding moderately adequate replacements for all the
things that work just fine now. When a new computer comes with unix and the
usual battery of utilities, then I might consider changing over -- for
political reason even if not convinced that any real advantage followed from
the move. for now, convenience outweighs politics (don't it always though).
