Well, I just got a new computer today. That means that I spent fifteen minutes assembling the thing, and then the next two and a half hours installing updates to the *@#$ thing before I could even use it. And here I am now having to use Microsoft Works (which is an oxymoron if ever there was one) since I don’t have my Office disk handy (but then, even if I did, it would take me another couple hours to install and register and all that fun stuff).
But in about a week, everything will be all ironed out and then the world will slip back into harmony and all that jazz.
However, it has also occurred to me as I look over at my old computer which is now sitting forlornly upon the top shelf of my closet (BTW, you ever notice how closets are not for clothes–they are the graveyard for your old computer supplies–but I digress) that I forgot to transfer several important word files to my flash drive before I put it up there. Yes, that means that ye olde computer will once more be back among the living, at least for another fifteen minutes before it is converted to something useful.
Yup. Once all the kinks are ironed out of this beast I now own, that computer up there on the shelf is gonna get Red Hat installed on it. And then I’m gonna have fun with Linux. I figure, what’s the point of being a cultist (Mac) when you can be your own Demiurge (Linux)? I rest my case.
