Well, here we are again

It's been about 5 years since I last tried this. I looked back at the old posts and found them still pretty much valid. I was particularly amused about the search puppy. I had never forgotten about it and was really pleased Google had preserved the old posts and I was able to recover them.

The "Puppy incident" was significant in that it illustrates how childish Micro$oft views it's customers and how they make it so not obvious to make changes. Windoze has had all these things scrambled up with every release of the OS. I goes beyond the OS to the office suite, and every thing else they do. The incident was the turning point for me. While I still have Windoze on two machines and a VM Windoze on my laptop, my primary personal OS is Linux. Mint 7.0 to be exact. So, the Puppy became the final straw that drove me away. None of my systems have the new Windoze versions, they all run the X P versions.

In my world there have been several leaving Windoze, going to Linux and Mac. In spite of what M$ wants people to believe, Linux is growing up and Mac is gaining in use. The five hundred pound canary is loosing. More on this at a later time. I do like my system now and it is working great.

I am reworking the website and have plans for it and the Blog, including political comments, computer notes, and genealogy items. I hope others find it interesting and worth the read.
