Nor do I have to support those annual fees if you run them legally. If you don’t run legally then somehow they always shut you off and you wind up looking again. Have you ever considered how they are able to tell that particular install isn’t legal? Of course there is always the spyware they put in to look and see if it is.

For a long time I feared Linux as something I would have to learn again for an OS. I no longer fear it and use it everyday. It doesn’t need a lot fixing and Linux has grown to resemble winblows in many ways. GUI interface should have a winblows user right at home, right out of the box. The days of having to run Linux through the command line is over. Can you still use the command line? Of course. Do you absolutely have to know the commands? No. When there is something that must be done in command line (and it is extremely rare) you can go to a web site and copy and paste to your hearts content without ever typing a letter once you have found what you are looking for.

Even Microsucks realizes their biggest headache is the wide open OS they have set up. Every spyware in the world writes for Winblows. Almost nil write for linux.

Don’t depend on limited access being your protection by lowering your admin rights. Some of the DRM stuff has shown that it even gets around that to install. Securerom is one of those that do.

Firefox works so much more smoothly! I’ve had three Linux distros ready for installation but have hesitated — until now.

Yes, Virginia, there really is a world beyond the confines of Microsoft windows (with a small -w-).

I encourage everyone to try Firefox — and I’m not associated with them in any way. All I can say is: if you’ve hesitated, like I did, hesitate no longer!

Like I say, I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than go back to IE. I cringe each time I must. My Adaware scan after my IE visit tells all. I don’t have that problem with Firefox. You see, I like to know who’s coming into my house.

Long live Mozilla, and friends.
