No.. I work PART time... 15 hours a week, in my basement, cleaning up spyware for people who cant function even the most simple commands... If I am going to sit in front of a PC at night, I might as well get paid to do it.

I work FULL time as a .Net programmer at a lawfirm in downtown Boston. Ive been there for 8 years... I rose the ranks from Desktop support, to apps specialist, to telecom specialist, to where I am now.

and no.. I have not misunderstood.... not at all... because the "basics" are something that a vast majority of the country cannot do. Which is why linux is and will be a niche OS for home users for the foreseeable future.

I can tweak my OS,you cannot.

Btw you can use Linux for way much more than the "basics" as you've stated.WAY much more.

I'm just a guy who doesn't like paying for unnecessary sh!t...which in this case is all the BS that comes with Windows(Mac).

As far as calling me an MS antifanboy,keep the childish remarks to yourself.

You want childish:You work for Firedog partime installing TVs and PCs for an electronics chain store.That's really cool...there's some good credentials.See how childish that sounds.Btw try not mixing your retorts in with the quote,very confusing to a dumb Linux guy.

Stop.Just stop.I'm done with this bullsh!t and won't play this game.I posted something that people like me might be interested in and all I get is grief.

Thanks.
