    Back in the day it was a terrible search engine for anything but warez! I'm not sure what internet you are using but I'm sure on mine it was a horrible search engine, snap was better, most of Altavistas results were hispanic.

    Just saw this, new is in no way bad, but taking a powerful desktop or laptop machine and shackling it down to little more than a glorified phone looking OS is not progress.

    Climate change is not a hoax we know already the earth goes through heating and cooling cycles, it's just absurd to think in 100 years we have impacted enough to speed this cycle.

    So is trying to speak to a non native English speaker to resolve a tech support issue quickly.

    Granted I do give them credit for knowing a second language, but when an accent is so think (theirs and mine) that neither of us can understand the other what's the point. Most of those calls end with a frustrated party and click.

    Did you sleep through your schooling?

Our grocery budget for a month $15.
