Probably would have given up because I'm such a noob and don't really get along with computers in general. I'm a retired vacuum tube engineer, true story. However, I haven't found a PC since that wouldn't run some kind of Linux, as long as it originally ran Windows ME or later.
I'm still running an HP G62 laptop, 6 years old. The hardware has shit the bed twice (i have the schematic and fixed it), and still limps into operation because the video is crap, but it has run openSuSE, several xbuntus, Puppy, Bodhi, Mint, and maybe another that I've forgot. All the hardware works - audio, wifi, touchpad, even the buttons that start up the calculator or email.
... in Sipi Falls, near Mount Elgon. There was a nice computer lab, where adults were learning basic keyboarding and Microsoft Office. I asked what they are going to do with this knowledge? Well, nothing, they said, we don't have enough inexpensive internet out here, and there's no jobs that need computer skills. But it's good to learn things.
Such as? I find that Linux is more compatible with hardware than Windows. Especially the old stuff, which I gladly accept from disgusted Windows users and put back to work. I have a scanner and TV capture card right here I'm using...
Between the lines, the sticker implied "The Government demands you buy these fragile, expensive, flickering, failure prone, mercury-containing CFLs because Global Warning is your fault". Fortunately, I resisted to some extent, and am now populating sockets with LEDs, which are nice. Greenies are stuck with a houseful of CFLs.
In this US election you had Christians and Southerns voting for a New Yorker that lied and was unChristian constantly and is part of the establishment....
Which lying, establishment, unChristian New Yorker were you referring to?
I just bought a Hertz scratch & dent special, no haggle and pick it up where it's at. 1-1/2 year old for almost half price. In New York car age is figured in winters, not miles, and I'm retired so I got one with 41K miles.
This after I spent 2 months going around to dealers & getting increasingly disgusted.
There have been many peer reviewed (fellow chemtrail researchers) trials of vinegar which neutralized chemtrails, documented in a well respected journal (YouTube). In every case, there were no traces of dangerous chemicals precipitated out of the sky.

your dyehard leader -
I see what you did there. Was it intentional or Freudian?
And how much do they slow down the rotation of the earth?
It's not your TV, you are only licensing it.

can I buy a small version to use as a flashlight?
"Sales are in the toilet, so next year HAS to be much better!"
Not if they discover Linux, though.
Then again, you can find out in a few minutes if your current machine will run fine on Linux. Something I did 6 years ago .... never looked back.

I left them some Ubuntu DVDs.
Is an upgradeable open source OS too much to ask, though? And no Microsoft, Google or Apple.
.... that a small minority of people actually like him. The rest of us who voted for him had no better alternative.
So I hope Twitter bans him. It would do everyone a favor (protect Trump from Trump, and us from Trump),
"For a thousand years in your sight are like a day..." Ps. 90:4
OK, a little off, that's only 2.19 billion years. Somebody moved a decimal point.

So how do I get all my regular Skype contacts to likewise switch to Ekiga?
Switch them to Linux first. Win-win.
What typos? Yore spelling is impeachable.
How many times do you see "In order to better serve our customers....." , and how many times do you believe it?

... so how much are Elon's, and can I get non-solar ones even cheaper? I do my own roofing, mostly.
They get mad at me when I tell them to call back when their software runs on Linux.
OK, I hate SJWs who use Windows 10. They are the worst, not only do they kill kittens but they eat them too. Is that OK?
Not if they use systemd
............... a reputable site like latimes.com ..........
Not so sure about that.
