I know we are going a bit off key know, but I think The pc and Windows, has set back real computing for many years. Back in the earier 90's the Amiga in pied piper fashion showed people their gui future. With the Amiga, even though the hardware was not advanced by todays standards, visually it was a stunning machine and multitasked years ahead of apple and microsoft. Bills, Steves and IBM's solution was to try and build the same user experience form off the shelf bits. From this moment our planet burning path was set in motion. We all know how small, eco firendly proprierty solutions can be, 'think of the c-one a few years ago', but until we can say 'speak to the hand' to eye candy, theres only one way things will go. (How cool would it be if we could turn our backs on Windows and OSX and just have fun with small footprint computing). I have used most computers since the 80's, and I have the knowledge to use OS like linux. But at the moment I have a desktop dual core Vista machine. As much as I would love to put Ubuntu on it, as its not broke, why would I fix it. No doubt in a couple of weeks, Ill kick Fire Ant and Kikstart to the curb and go back to Runescape and PC gaming.
