I just decided it would be cool to start to invest my mental energy mastering programs that can be found on all the "major" (is that a Microsoft helicopter I hear whispering over my house as I type this on my XP machine) OS platforms. If you haven't seen the article its worth buying the magazine for and I'd recommend cutting out the pages for future reference. A gold mine of good quality software (like FireFox, GIMP, FileZilla, Skype, Audacity, Thunderbird & Lightning, GoogleDesktop, LogMeIn, Gizmo, Juice, Levelator, Song bird, VLC MediaPlayer, HandBrake, and more Platform independent software sounds like a great coping strategy for maintaining platform freedom while enjoying some of what makes them special.
