You're a complete moron! Y is *far* better than Z, and always will be!
X is a complete waste of time -- Not even worth considering.
I'm running Y on a 300MHz 80486 with 5Gb of RAM and 15Tb of disk. Y
consumes much less disk space and memory than either Z *or* X, it's
compatible with every piece of software ever written for any architecture,
and its networking code is perfect. No, really!
