Burning Bridges
We've been wanting to get Liz a laptop for a few months now. Having to pay for a new air conditioner for the house doesn't make that easy. The plan was that when she got her laptop, we'd install Linux on it, and eventually take Windows off of our PC and install Linux there as well.
The PC has been acting flakey lately, though, so we were obviously going to have to do something with it. I re-asked Liz if there was any particular reason not to put Linux on it, and she couldn't think of one. So on Wednesday evening, we nuked Windows and put slackware version 10 on it. As of this point, I do not regularly come in contact with any computer that runs on a Microsoft operating system.
