I picked that particular paragraph to respond to. Ever since I adopted 
Linux as my OS of preference, I had hoped to one day being able to ditch 
Windows.

This year for the nth time I tested the professional software that I am 
compelled to use under wine. All but two packages worked flawlessly and 
installation was effortless. The trouble was those remaining two.

If that sort of problem could be overcome, somewhere in excess of 
150,000 accountants,bookkeepers and lawyers would easily be persuaded to 
adopt a cheaper solution. It may be happening but it is grindingly slow.

Oh! While writing. Last night I ran through a python tutorial. It looked 
remarkably familiar. I will continue to explore it.
