Computer survey.

I'm going to do a quick survey here:
How many of you have ... lets say ... have Internet Explorer installed on your machines, just put your hands up.
Okay, about 85-90%. Keep your hands up if you use it regulaly.
Wow, about, yeah, 90% of you guys put your hands down.
So what do the rest of you guys use regulaly, Opera? yeah, thats okay. Safari? what, did that get installed when you upgraded iTunes or something? Oh, your on a Mac. I'll get to you later.
So what do the rest of you guys have installed?
Firefox, oh, there it is, yeah.
So what do you like best about it?
Less chance of viruses? ... Good point.
Customizable? ... Another very good point.
Quicker? yeah it is quicker than other browsers, well, Opera might have something to say about that but still.
Anyway back to the Internet Explorer crowd, well, trio.
Why do you use it then?

...

Okay anyway, back to the rest of you.

Going to do another quick survey:
How many of you have Windows installed on your machines?
All the Internet Explorer people, but what about the rest of you, all you Firefox guys, why do you still have internet explorer installed?
What was that?
You can't get rid of it?
What the hell is that about, I mean, Microsoft wouldn't put something in that you wouldn't need and can't uninstall surely?
They did?

...

Anyway, you Mac guys.
What cool stuff can your OS do anyway?
Docks? Oh for holding your shortcuts in? Okay.
Widgets? Okay, cool.
Loads of cool animations? Okay.
And Windows guys, what can yours do?
Widgets, animations? So, just the Mac stuff then?

...

Anyway, how much does all this cost then?
An upgrades £75! Bit steep innit?

...

And you Mac guys, how about you?
It's free, that's better, whats that last bit I missed it?
Only certain hardware?
This is getting worse.

...

All you guys that run Windows, why don't you go for a different OS?
No, not Mac.
linux!
It's alot better, has all the stuff your OS's have, including no viruses and no defragmention, and it's free.
Yes, I did say it was free.
Why not, it's not as if it's expensive to try?
It's not crap, why would you say that?
Just because it's free doesn't mean the people that help make it don't care about what there making.
Why wouldn't you want all the things that are great about Firefox, or Opera, or whatever in an OS?

...

Look, here's a link, it's free to try, the new version of the most popular version just got released.

Dual Boot is your best friend..

Most of the system builds in my household will at least dual boot between XP Pro and a varying Linux distribution - my 7 year old server, which is still going strong, is XP Pro and a Fedora Core box, works laptop is XP Pro/Ubuntu and my home laptop is triple booting XP Pro, Vista (for R&D, not out of choice) and Ubuntu. Oh, and a self booting USB pen drive with Damn Small Linux on, which I've begun to carry around with me at all times.

There are loads of reasons I still mainly live in XP Pro and can't switch fully to Linux, no matter how much I'd love to, and most of that is down to my current employment. That and Adobe monopolising their software for Windows and OSX...

Wine works perfectly for the remote access software we use too, its just I can't seem to get it working with the VPN elements, thus rendering it useless on anything other than local ranges.

The other main role I have is writing bespoke software solutions for our clients, all of whom use XP Pro so it would be kind of stupid to be using anything other than Visual Studio on a Windows box for most of the day... again, could work around this but "if it ain't broke"



My advise though is to burn the Ubuntu CD and give it a test drive in the Live mode (i.e. you can use a perfectly functioning Operating System _without_ having to install it). The full install DVD comes with every possible piece of software you'll ever need without having to pay a single penny/gamble downloading pirated software - that includes equivalent versions of Office, Photoshop, Premiere (video editing software), 3D CAD drawing, music creation, software development, media center software... the list goes on and on.

So...

It looks as if I'm preaching to the believers anyway.

Awwww.

They didn't, did they? The absolute BASTARDS!

I'm sure, based on what you've written, that it was a stunningly insightful and informative comment, too. A tragic loss to society. We can only hope the British Library have already preserved a copy for posterity.

Coach Outlet

The easiest way to tell if Coach Outlet is, to look at the symmetry of the print on the bag. Any authentic Coach Online Outlet will have a perfectly symmetrical print on both sides of the Coach Factory Outlet, right down the middle. What I see on some Cheap Coach Bags is that many times the print is off center, or if you look at the stitching make sure the print is perfectly symmetrical over the stitching. Another mistake is that sometimes they will have a single row of "C"s and then they will be flipped, but on all signature Cheap Colts Jersey, even the op-art design there will always be two rows of "C"s and then two rows of "C"s, even down the side. The reason it is symmetrical is that an authentic UGG Boots Outlet is made from one piece of leather wrapped around, while knockoffs put together North Face Outlet from whatever pieces they can find to save money.
