New ‘puter. Hooray for Linux Mint! FAST!! and STABLE!! two things my poor old Windows laptop was not. And HOORAY for wider bigger screen! Boooo, however, to ASUS for having their download site not working. (And boo for not providing Linux drivers straight off - yep, I’m a convert!)
Booo for having to remember a gazillion different log-ins and passwords though - maaaaaaaan I have NO idea what some of them were!
Also - BOOO for pattern instructions that leave me scratching my head. I’m still hoping to get the dress done to wear Wednesday morning, but there’s more to still be done than I was hoping…
Go forth! SEW!!

That’s http://www.linuxmint.com/ for those who’d like to know more. It’s a cousin of Ubuntu Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com/).
Hey, with a LiveCD you can even test-run Linux on your existing Windows system without changing any of the existing settings or programs, just to see how it goes.
Did we mention this complete system office suite, games and all that, goes for Zero Dollars? Yup.
The speedy response we’re getting out of an older, Frankensteined desktop PC is amazing, now it’s free of WinBloat!
Once the Great Unlearning is done, Caity will be having even more fun.

Good luck with the dress! And your tuna can pattern weights amuse me to no end.
Also, I tagged you in a meme… don’t feel obligated to do it, though.
