Way back in the '80's (82 or 83 I guess) I first met computers : a Tandy (Radio Shack)TRS80 I( !!!), and I've learned some basic programming on it.
'Till 2000 I didn't work with computers whatsoever,
but in 2000 my boss gave ma a PC (Pentium I, Win NT ), and I knew absolutely nothing about it:confused:
This year september I started with computerclasses, I realy wanted to know what that darn machine was doing, and why it wasn't doing what I thought it should be doing:rolleyes:
By now I know my way around Win XP and how to tweak the OS to fit my needs.
Funny story is that I allso (since yesterday) double boot with ubuntu, after trying the life-cd and reading alot here on the community\\:D/
Can I say it feels like coming home again?
Network was working instantaniously
printer working was only a few clicks away
I could reach and read the discs
USB was working
a smooth installation , took me 1 hour(now using a P4 3000Mhz, 500Meg.Ram)to start using the PC again.
I like the GUI and the command-line.I can see that they both have their use.
I will keep XP to do things Ubuntu can't (like Autocad :I need it for work)
So I will have best of both worlds(I hope)
