Hi
After a bit of hiatus of about a year I came back to this website and read some of my old posts, and also some posts in the Absolute Beginners Forum.
I read many of the new users problems and empathize with them because it seems like I was there only recently - totally bewildered and frustrated.
So I just want to say stick with it!
Weening of XP is a bit like quitting smoking maybe you might go back a few times but in the end if you stick with it you will learn to live without out it - and feel better for it.
On the weekend my friend asked me to help fix his computer ( actually my old donation running XP ) and this thing was such a nightmare to clean viruses and things off it- I couldn't do it ( I failed ) so I just left it there and said good luck. I don't really like to see anyone go under but I think MS has got some serious serious issues with it's OS's.
At home I have Fedora 8 and Xubuntu on my laptop.
It's a shame Xubuntu doesn't have a decent forum ( there is one but its loaded with spam and pretty sparse). I am pretty happy with Xubuntu - especially the wifi support ( power options still need some work I think )
After a fall out with my usual (Macfanboy) friends, I thought I would post something here.
