Mr. GaleForce, I would have also offered you a ride, but I do not think I am allowed to cross the Canadian border.

I've long since ditched Windows, and Apple, although I recommend Apple over Windows all of the time, even with the higher prices. Personally, I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on my laptop. It's great for 90% of most of the needs of most computer users, and almost all of my needs.

These days, I don't use a desktop much; I use my Android tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) and Android phone (DROID Bionic). Most people don't know it, but all Android devices run on the Linux kernel. That's akin to the engine of a car. The Java runtime then runs on top of that. Heck, my Samsung 55" LED HDTV runs on the Linux kernel. My Xerox printer uses Linux. Linux may not have conquered the desktop, but it's everywhere else, hidden in plain sight. :icon17: It's in a ton of small, medium, and large embedded devices, all the way up to supercomputers! It's in IBM's Watson!

I've been using traditional Linux on my desktop since 1993. All of Google's search engines run atop of Linux. In fact, most of the world's servers run atop of Linux. An OS should be reliable, efficient, and invisible ... like an engine.

He is doing great. He is back to his old self -- getting nervous about the ultrasound coming up next week when they find out about the baby's gender. We were having some fun coming up with proposed names over the weekend. Some that made the short list include: Gale, Alcheng, Alchemy, Ken, Goober, Happy, Z-man and Tecumseh.

Thanks for checking in.

btw, a mac question... i need to get a reliable office software. what is recommended? i currently use LibreOffice (freeware) but the otd file sometimes corrupts non-english language. i need to use doc when i send out my projects and i dont want to run parallel on my MBP... i just dont want to deal with microsoft-infestation on my mac. :shakes head:

I'm surprised you don't want to name the baby Michael or Michelle.

Or just get straight to the point and name it Michelin. :hello:

Download Pages from the App store, or maybe look at Open Office (free)

Anytime :tiphat: the nice thing is you can download just the Pages app now and not the whole suite. It's reasonable too, $20 and has most/all the function of MS Word without the suckage :icon17: But give open office a try, it may suit your needs... And it free.
