Eeep - just noticed I have 2 fans. Don't know where they came from, how they got here or what to feed them.

I'll start with alcohol and work from there :)

OK so I've switched, but why do people think that there is something wrong in heaping praise on the Apple experience once you've switched?

We succesful switchers are likely to provide the most praise as we've often come from worlds with many, many problems. So why the abuse?
