Will I ever learn?
Computer: Mornin’ Grandad! Which would you like? Windows or Linux?
Me: Windows. I had better make sure it’s still working.
Computer: Are you sure? You know what Doc said about your blood pressure?
Me: Go on. Windows. It can’t be as bad as I remember.
Computer: OK. You have been warned. Here goes………..
Two minutes later…
Computer: Please wait while updates are applied. Don’t switch me off………….
Eight minutes later…
Computer: Password please.
Me: There ya go.
Computer: Ta. Hold on………….
Two minutes later…
Me: Can I start now?
Computer: Hang on. Just rewriting all the desktop icons.
A minute later…
Me: Now?
Computer: Don’t be so impatient! I’m downloading the latest virus definitions.
A minute later…
Me: Now?
Computer: Nearly there. I have just discovered 47 vital new updates. Be with you in a minute………..
Nine minutes later…
Computer: You have to reboot me now.
Me: *sigh* OK. There you go.
Computer: Ta. Just installing new updates. Be with you in a short moment.
Ten minutes later…
Computer: I’m ready now.
Me: Fuck that. Reboot into Linux.
Ninety seconds later…
Computer: Ready when you are……..
Linux Mint rocks!
It’s so nice to be Windowless.
Brianf – As the saying goes here – you could sing that if you had an air to it! The only reason I keep Windows at all is to run a couple of programmes that don’t run on Linux and don’t have an equivalent.
Hah! Just realised……..
This is my 2,000th post!
🙂
Congratulations GD. Keep ’em coming.
2,ooo post? Well done Grandad
Thanks! It makes me feel a bit weak though, thinking of all those wasted hours scribbling here that I will never get back. Fuck!
don’t think of it that way think of it as how much shit was stirred up =) grand fun for the rest of us.
wish i had lunix
Cat – It is possible to run both Linux and Windows on the one PC. It’s even possible to run both at the same time, but that’s another story.
Glad I stopped by, your 2000th post. Awesome job Grandad. (I know how much you love that word, couldn’t resist it;-)
I didn’t know you could run Windows and Linux on the same machine. Will need to look into that.
Expect Kirk to stop by. He will always weigh in when given an opportunity to trash Windows!
GD, You probably just got a virus. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSMGoebZnXRHpLzTu8S-T2lZlrDJoygb2cc6HkXygdzWxOmNoqu5RDDjeIl4A
I used to use MacIntosh and considered them okay. Now I’m forced to use PC and fucking windows.
I hate Thursdays, the day when all the updates seem to arrive. They make the bugger do what it wants and totally frustrate me. I wish I had my Mac back.
2,000 go rounds…not bad for an ol guy…
Headrambles 2000 – sounds like a fully functioning operating system to me 🙂
Denise – Thank you for that word. You are now firmly off my Christmas Card list. I asked The Quare Fella about running Linux and Windows and he says you can test Linux Mint by using a programme on the DVD called Mint4Win which runs Mint as if it were a Windows programme. He says if you really want to use Linux though you have to do a thing called repartitioning [which can be iffy if you don’t know what you are doing]. I have Windows 7 and Linux Mint on this here laptop. Awesome! Neat!
Slab – No viruses [virii?] in Linux! Hah!!
Brigid – Less of the “ol” of you don’t mind. *snif*
Mick – Hah! Good one. Maybe I could flog it and become a billionaire?
I don’t believe a word of it. You’d never get a Windows OS booted up in under an hour…
