I use what's best for me. In fact, my primary machine at home is a Win98 box. I want to do my lojban flashcarding on a unix machine because that way I can leave work and go home and not interrupt my session. And many of the programs I run on my linux box are physically impossible on a Win* box. The OS doesn't support the functionality. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
