Thanks for l=fixing the link / wrap.

As your blog suggests, it's in the eye of the listener. I'd say, in the
so-called negative meaning of the word, I'm a bit of a zealot. Certainly
an impassioned advocate. Just said earlier this week to an impassioned
Windows user I've known several months that, "if a dog is fed trash all
its days it'll know no difference. If, on the other hand, it receives a
chunk of good meat, the dog will abandon the garbage. Windows is trash
and you've never known any better. Allow me to give you a Linux LiveCD.
It won't write anything to your harddrive; unplug it if you're worried.
Mess with Linux. Ask me any questions you have. After trying it two days
strait, and you're unhappy, you can say that at the least you've looked
at Linux briefly".

Now he wants to install Linux along side Windows (he's a gamer).
