To go back to the topic...
Whoever posted the link to the "Ultimate Steal," Thank You! Just ordered a
copy, as this is my first year in college.
And more to the off topic argument of what's better: Linux or Windows. In my
opinion, its a moronic argument to have. They are two totally different
animals. Its just a matter of personal preference.
You're quite welcome - quite a few people have thanked me, and I just passed it along
from slickdeals or notebookreview.
You gotta dig REAL deep, apparently, to get past the bigots...I know a few people on the
list, and when they suggested I
join a few months back, I didn't realize what I'd find.
Scary - some need to SERIOUSLY unplug, and learn to deal with humans again, because people
skills are nowhere to be found!
No matter - enjoy, and keep an eye out at that link, as they are supposed to have Vista
Ultimate for $65 in a week or two.
Oh, and to please the offended, yes linux is free, yes it's wonderful, yes it will do
EVERYTHING your heart desires, oh, and yes, it's free.
