All this talk of different OSs, I thought that some of you might want to 
experience a nice Linux interface without installing it on you 
computer..   Check out this Linux distribution.  It's free, and you can 
download a version that will run from you CD drive.   Works on most 
PCs..   Even includes office software..    Copy it and burn to a CD and 
reboot.    This is a nice interface and works a lot like windoz, but does 
run slower on the CD drive (cd drives just are not a fast as hard drives) 
.

Download the "Live" iso file and use your own CD burner SW to make the CD...

Now if Steve Jobs had not made a couple of mistakes several years ago, we 
all would be using MACs instead of Mr Bill's SW on PCs.
