For Garrett of Austin, Texas.
Thanks! Actually, I'd love to read more about Linux, but I, personally, would never
give up my Windows. I can barely stand Mac (Don't beat me!)
Any way to have 2 OS on one machine?
INSERT PLEAD FOR LINKS HERE. Ya know, toggle back and forth capabilities?
I do like MS, I was just distraught that WinAmp took over my Windows Media Player
stuff, even AFTER it gave me the option of preserving all previous file extensions.
(It didn't, it lied to me!)
And that, my clever and wonderful cyber friends, is what REALLY jerked my chain!
