   Of course it's not a problem. What I was referring to, and Joel knows this, as   
   to why when he switches he adopts the OS, whatever OS, as super great and then   
   offers up the lukewarm comment that the other OS is good, but his latest switch   
   is better.   
      
   He's done this several times, on hardware so it's not like he has   
   2 machines and moves between the two.   
   It's just an observation and others have noticed the same.
