Today my laptop made that squealing sound again but this time I knew it was bad Vista hurting him.
My laptop is just over a year old, has been to the shop twice, and they threatened me that they were going to charge me next time, even if I show up while it’s still under warranty.
Charge me again for their idiotic OS I payed for already? For not giving me the right BIOS until I asked for it? Well OK.
Kubuntu has just been installed and I don’t think I’ll look back.

in the last few days, computer wise.
I’m pretty good at understanding how a particular software works, but I’m scared of all those protocols, adjustabilities and dependencies that go on inside this thin little box that’s been to the doctor’s twice already, and has barely started living. :-)

3. be able to fix something that goes wrong
4. actually understand conversations people sometimes have about computers, software, connections, etc.
5. be able to buy a proper piece of equipment for my PC without standing like a moron in the store and staring at the sales person like they’ve just started speaking in tongues
