Oh joy. Much work today.

I cleared enough space in my garage to go through the stack of computers I have piled up. I have about 2 dozen of them. The ones with Windows 7 I will update and check and put on craigslist.
The ones with XP I will see if they're upgradeable to 7. If not, I'll either load Ubuntu/Mint on them or scrap them out for usable parts.

It's too hot and humid to do anything outside so I might as well sit in the AC in my workroom and get something accomplished.

I found it awkward and clumsy to use.

Mr. dixie has 3 "lab rat" computers he is playing with now, one thing he is trying is different Linux interfaces.
Maybe he will find one he loves, but I am sticking to Gnome.
