I think your logic fell apart on the reply, for one, if I did do what you desired, wouldn't it also be on an "inferior system"? And, is the reason I failed to do so because I was using an inferior system? No, I failed to do the challenge simply because I didn't feel like it. I already have a site I've maintained for some time now, so the challenge task was pretty pointless. Faced with the challenge, I decided it more fun trolling this post to death. Ignoring other people, I could do that if I was reading this on a TRS-80, were that possible. Definately not a task limited to either Mac or Win people.
I wouldn't feel like doing it either, if I had to use Windows or Linux to do it. Fortunately, I have a Mac and that makes all the difference.
