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.

Yeah, no wonder, especially following the bad press it's been getting. And especially
following nearly a decade of having to spend nearly 200$ for an OS. Frankly they can stow
it.
