Yea, I would have a lot more time to read books and study. It would probably be better.

There is no malware in books.

Yeah but you could still get a nasty paper cut :p

I call it the craptop.
I went 48 years with no internet, I bought my first ever machine in January of 08, joined x64 one month later; I could do it again but I prefer not to.

I've been sober for 12 years and that has been great; I spent about 5 years of that maintaining salt water reef aquariums in my home, I kind of miss that but it's a lot of work.

/too much info.














Later :shock: Ted
