I've been taking the bus to work and can't really post on my phone (It Backspaces over my entire post and I lose everything most of the time). So, I just did the multi-quote thing and figured I'ld respond when I got home tonight.
But, all my multi-quotes are gone!!!
So, the best I can do from memory:
To the Linux geeks: I've hated MS since back in the DOS days. I've been dying to change over to Linux (Mint, to be specific). But, I've been waiting until I have a spare computer (to make the change-over more gradual and painless). Or, at least, a really good system of backing up so I feel more free to experiment. So, I may be here picking your brains in the near future.
