I've wiped the drive and installed windows clean in just an afternoon,
including tweaks and settings, and installing optional programs, but only
about once every 3 or 4 years on each unit. I'm getting lazy in my old age.
I work at work, so I want my home computer to run stable with very little
fuss and bother. Point and click simplicity. I read online newspapers
instead of buying paper, because it's easiest. I get the weather alerts
instantly and silently, without interrupting my wife's movie or soap opera,
nice and easy. Computers are a tool for me, not a hobby. Swimming is
recreation here, not a competitive sport. When I'm home, I want an average
system for an average home user.

Then you don't want Windows. Ubuntu does all of the above and more and
doesn't need an anti virus or anti malware programs.

If not, do you give lessons on how to be a damn fool Frankie? Seems to
be the only thing you're good at.

No, I want I like. You want what you like. Mac users prefer Mac and iMac.
It's really that simple. What's really funny is the way spam it thread to
thread like a "Jehovahs Witness" recruiting door to door. Pretty pathetc.

If I needed a teacher to become a fool, Frank would be my first choice.

Not for someone that knows how to use it and has an open mind to learn
new and better things (not you).

No one says you have to replace your OS every 6 months. If you're happy
with the way things are working than stick with what you have (which is why
I still have Win2k as my primary OS). I'm not 100% sure on this (so maybe
one of the other Linux know-it-all's can clarify) but I also don't think you
have to replace the OS.....When a new version is released you can just
update your system similar to how Windows Update works.

Yeah yeah...whatever Frank. As usual...can't defend the current topic at
hand so you switch to something completely irrelevant.

No, it just demonstrates once again that can't defend your position and
start spewing out meaningless nonsense.
