Thoroughly agree.

Driving past Royal Perth = bad memory during good times (the present day).
Listening to geek speak while in hospital = good memory during bad times
(stuck in a hospital bed)

I see your point, Simon, but I think Linux is too good a thing and too
fond a memory to Leon, for being reminded of how it pulled him through
bad times to put him off it afterwards.

I completely respect your opinion though, and at the end of the day, Lucy
as his next of kin has got to make those decisions for him and knows him
best of all to be guessing how he will personally handle it.
