Don't worry Ben; it's sure cured me of the occasional temptation to try 
Linux for at least another twelve months.

You see I get this occasional curious urge so see what Linux is all 
about, and I need a thread like this to remind me that life is too short 
to waste on computer operating systems which offer such a diverse and - 
well I'll say it - a seemingly infinite range of possibilities for total 
frustration.  

The last time I got as far as burning a set of CD's from a magazine 
cover and waited patiently while the seemingly endless process of  
installations scrolled down the screen.   When the big moment came to 
reboot, I got a terse message advising that it could not start because 
my computer had a serial mouse and it couldn't run with this 
limitation.  So much for the occasional assertion that linux "will run 
on any old clunker ".  (sigh).

Reading this thread took but a fraction of the time for that 
installation, and it has brought about the same result.  I'm so glad you 
raised the question.  Farewell the urge to try Linux for at least 
another few months.

Now what the heck is going with this blasted Windows computer and why 
can't it see my new USB device / modem / printer / CD drive etc. ...... ?

(sigh)
(again)
