Gee. This is a nice place you have here.

Very pleasant that veterans of the platform wars can come together to celebrate and commiserate. I've always used Apple boxes, so I can't talk intelligently about the licensed platforms of the mid-90s.

Although I must say, I don't remember there being three platform wars. I was probably drunk then. The only platform war I remember is the one between cool servile computers and drab demanding computers. That has always been the difference from my perspective. I start up a Mac and it does what I want; I boot up Windows and do what I'm told.

Now there's Linux. It doesn't tell me what to do, and I don't know how to tell it what to do. So we just stare at each other and shrug. Only one of us curses loudly, though.
