A few points...

- I Love Microsoft!

O.K. point of reference, I'm a UNIX system admin. Been one for almost 18 years. It's not really "Love", but man this damn HP tx2000 is wonderful!

MS Journal, Outlook (yes outlook), along with Ms One Note work really-really well.

I just got this (tx) so Linux will go on soon. But so far this is NICE.

-G-Max 685 helmet

$100! This thing is good and is worthy of the web bike world review (here).

- Ubuntu 8.04

It's not 6.04 or 7.10, they are master pieces compared to 8.04. Don't get me wrong, it's probably to best Os around, but the upgrade from 7.10 was horrible. And even after several updates Evolution is still broken (the Exchange plug-in).

But the beryl/ ComPiz effects work better. Umm... but that might be nvidia's new driver too.

- the Election

Obama should be the next Pres. Not because of "changes, and not because his economic policies are better... no he should be Pres. because he is charismatic. It's what we need right now. I like McCain, but his time was 8 years ago.

I am a conservative.
