"YES I AM!" - GeekDyke ExposedNow it wasn't completely a piece of cake. My web developer's support group kicked me out when they found out I dumped IIS for Apache. After much hoopla (and a very expensive lawyer, I may add), they reinstated me and any other Linux User and finally began to support Linux as well.
I was a pseudo celebrity after this. I was asked to speak to school groups by concerned parents. This became a political nightmare. Windoze Users came from miles around to protest me "recruiting for Linux". One man at the protest held up a sign that read "I don't give a damn about Linux Users. I just don't want them teaching my kids." A sea of signs greeted me. "Open source is immoral" And so on and so on. It was tough standing up for my principles, but I held out, even when a certain militant group of Windoze users proffered a new laptop with a wireless ethernet card and all the trimmings just to say that I was "Reformed. I found the error of my ways and have returned to a life of Windoze" I just couldn't do it. Then it got worse. I had several core dumps right in a row and my system got hacked. I was flood-pinged and lost one of my peripheral devices along the way. Out of this darkness came a ray of sunlight. A womyn who taught me how to configure and compile. She showed me her source code and I opened mine to her. I then saw what all of this was about. It's not about who is right or wrong. It's about living life to it's fullest, whether you are a Linux User or a Windoze User.
