Have you heard the old saying, from the days of mechanical watches, "A man with one watch always knows what time it is. A man with two watches never knows."?
Back in the days when engineering workstations were a big deal, I was running 5 competing UNIX-based systems in my research lab: SunOS and Sun Solaris, DEC Ultrix, SGI IRIS, IBM AIX (don't ask; it was a crazy time). I never knew which branch of UNIX I was on.
I'm swiss and I own 4 mechanical watches. All my school friends work in the watch industry. They are now all driving expensive cars :-) At about that period I had SunOS, HP-UX, DEC Ultrix, and moved over to Solaris. A crazy period where a workstation was more expensive than a car. Luckily we had Linus working on fixing it.
