Exactly.

LibreOffice + Google Docs is a great combo for me.
Having my work (pres,docs,spreadsheets) available online anytime, anyplace, w/ anybody on any computing device IS SUPREME.
MS Office...

I've never trusted Samsung laptops anyway.
ASUS/MSI run great for me.

Cinnamon with Jelly Bean theme is my preference now.
Mint 14.

The PC desktop is no longer a growth arena anyway.

Cost of system is not an important factor. Look at Android.

Not experiencing wireless problems at all on 3 notebooks.

Very consistant...

Not just LA either.
Frugality is way cooler.

Having Ubuntu/Debian underneath can be enough.

Linux Mint 14 is a solid option.

Well designed Gnome 3 touches and quite stable on 3 machines.

An open mind about desktop environments can...

What a coincidence.
On it now.

TP-Link TL-WN322G v3 / TL-WN422G v2 802.11g [Atheros AR9271]

Works OFTB on 12.10 Ubuntu/Mint 14 (or even Fedora 18).
A pleasure on Linux.

Fedora 18 is a pleasure!

My stuff is getting done.

LibreOffice, Google Drive, Polaris Office.
Very satisfied- doing presentations, training materials.

Running Xubuntu 12.10
The keyboard sound,fwd,stop keys don't function tp control Gmusicbrowser
Volume indicator shows up- but not actually working.

Toyed with Xubuntu alot in past, never...

Ugly (screen estate) and not vital- but a commercial success.
Still undesirable to many pros.

12.10 is providing better performance on my netbook(s).
The vga drivers are improved, better with HD.
Unity in 12.04 has useful GDocs integration, and other nice touches.
Switched everything.

Went back to Firefox 14 as sole browser.
More stable, Unity integration, has whiz-bang auto address.

Irv-another interesting thread.

We're moving out of the dark ages of computing.

Google Play is essentially free also. I've got thousands of songs uploaded at no cost. YouTube is key also.

Isn't it called Google Play?
Awesome cloud service.
Now my PC's and tablets (and future phones) have unified music.

MS- forced into partial embrace of the cloud.

Mobile devices, SAS, stickin it to em.

There's a whole new industry springing up around protection from Identity Theft. It's almost amazing that people continue to trust Windows for online transactions.

Mine allows 8 hours per day unlimited. Very low-cost - I'm not in the states. Really useful.

Not to mention the thousands of songs I've got in Google music, playable on any good smartphone, tablet...

Wow we've got it officially covered- though it wasn't my meaning.

GDocs even reduces the need for a LAN.

My docs can be viewed/worked a thousand places including my TV and the world outside.
...

Google documents is very convenient for me, even used locally.
Takes the document management hassles away.
I use it on VPN exclusively.

I'd like a Chromebook too.
But I'm pretty happy with the...

I like a variety of screen sizes up to 24".

It's actually a pretty good idea to go strictly laptop/netbook/tablet though.

They are more dependable, save energy, space saving and portable.
...

Stable here on Ubuntu for years. Office production.
Everything backed up in the cloud.
No security or licensing issues.
Simplicity, freedom and stability.

Operating system over applications- then Linux.

Linux apps look fine and meet many needs.

I see alot of Windows stuff that looks pretty ugly.

I only need A-reader for PDF input forms.
