The source code is always cleaner on somebody else’s drive. You dream about each new upgrade, without which you must survive. You’re not a registered user, you’re more of a pirate bold, You got no support or manuals for software that’s four years old. On the PC, on the PC, There is no viler shell or compiler than one that’s free, If you want to ease your awful pain, Then you got to stick with public domain, But bootleg the disk and You’re living risky On the PC. ---
