I'm a huge computer addict. I'm actually on the boyfriend's computer right now and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. My computer is in the process of committing suicide and it's only two years old! I haven't used my computer in a week because of a nasty nasty virus that won't let me access pretty much anything except for my realOne player (hey at least I can access my second love--music  Seriously, if you people hate the constant reformatting of your computer because of a stupid virus, get Linux or anything else that is not Microsoft. You'll save yourselves the headache. |

well, i use MS but i'm not about ready to say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. their stupid, lame-ass and useless upgrades have caused serous compatability issues with my computer. that's why my computer took a "vacation" last week because the stupid service pack 2 was DL'ing onto my computer. but since i have to use windows, i bought the norton anti-virus (since it's the best one). but i agree with you, chastity. MS is crap.

Anti virus software is bull caca. It's just an industry. I blindly subscribed to Norton 2 years ago thinking that it would save me from viruses and stuff (hey at the time I was pretty computer stupid) but I have been informed that Linux doesn't need anti virus software. I tried downloading the MS service pack 2 this past week also and my computer decided to attempt suicide. Hmm, Alex, we're onto something. *Twilight Zone music starts playing*

I'm waiting to install another hard drive on my comp to install Linux... I already used it in a class last year at school and it's pretty cool since I've been able to customize it pretty much at my taste.
Most of the Windows softwares have good quality Linux equivalents and if you're good enough in programming you'll even be able to add the functionalities you want on the software 'cuz all the code is free!
Another cool thing is that the Linux community is really huge and they come from everywhere, so you can ask any question in any language and you'll get the answer in the same day!
And finally, Linux comes from Scandinavia (Finland)!

*whines* But my computer is 2 years old and it already wants its life to end! For some reason, deep down I never liked Microsoft. Back then I didn't know that Linux existed and I thought that Microsoft was the only computer software that was available (once again, I'm going to remind you that I was very computer stupid back then-well I still am, kind of  ). So I stayed with it. Not only does the software suck but I don't agree with Microsoft's mentality also. I have Windows XP and wow has it given me way too many problems. Besides, I like learning new things. I sound like such a geek but learning computer stuff is really interesting. |
