Re: OS
I grew up on Apple II through Mac OS8 through elementary school. After that, it was Windows all the way.
I made it a whole two weeks of no Windows by using Ubuntu, but that was as long as I could stand it. Just took too much time to research and read how to get everything working like I wanted too. Too many things I can do with a mouse in Windows, that I had to do with a terminal window in Ubuntu. For a server, Linux is great. But for a desktop, I think it'll be quite a long time before I give it another try. Just too many things I do work only on (or better on) Windows. Every now and then when I'm feeling nostalgic, I do enjoy firing up the 8MHz Mac Classic with System 7.5 though.
