I stay far from the bleeding edge, as a rule.  I'm a late adopter.
It's one reason I run Linux, actually--so I don't have to have the
latest hardware.

I don't think so.  I enver said I always stay away from newer
software.  Other people pointed out the gcc vs. built-in C compiler
issue, and GNU tools, and I do use those.  Even on Solaris or other
Unices besides Linux.  I never pretend to be consistent.

Still, I suppose it's time to change the sig quote...
