Maybe it's time to experiment with new operating systems, new applications, and new editors, even if we're happy with our status quo. We should put allegiances and familiarity aside, and push ourselves harder to go beyond our software imprinting-- otherwise, we literally won't know what we're missing. -- Jeff Atwood

I know lots of folks that write-off minivans as a non-starter because the look stupid. (Yes, they do look stupid.) However, you won't find a vehicle with more functional space. As a consumer, you would never *know* that unless you gave it a fair shake.
