We've already got that memo. And others.

Well, I was reading The Unix Hater's Handbook again, and I came across a couple of beautiful gems that I felt like sharing.

"This book is about people who are in abusive relationships with Unix,
woven around the threads in the UNIX-HATERS mailing list. These notes
are not always pretty to read. Some are inspired, some are vulgar, some
depressing. Few are hopeful. If you want the other side of the story, go read
a Unix how-to book or some sales brochures.
This book won’t improve your Unix skills. If you are lucky, maybe you
will just stop using Unix entirely."

"Unix haters are everywhere. We are in the universities and the
corporations. Our spies have been at work collecting embarrassing
electronic memoranda. We don’t need the discovery phase of
litigation to find the memo calculating that keeping the gas tank
where it is will save $35 million annually at the cost of just eight
lives. We’ve already got that memo. And others."

Hahaha, I love it :) That's what I love about Unix folks. We all have a certain gallows humor, a dark understanding that even though we love Unix, we also hate it. We know that it's terrible. But it makes so much more sense to us than other computer operating systems. We are trapped, for good or ill.

I challenge you to find Windows experts with these qualities. People who write about Windows write stuff that reads like sales brochures. I don't like reading sales brochures, because we all know they are bullshit.

Yeah, we've already got that memo.
