  • Vista

    is a toe in the baws.
    I've succumbed to geekcentral linux just so I can start up my laptop in less than a day and get to work.

    • arch linux

      for the win. i might need to install it soon, or at least xp. also, i have no idea how normal people deal with trying to fix vista, as i consider myself somehwat of a nerd and yet am finding it almost impossible.

      • ditto

        I've done what I can, I even put my glasses on and brewed some serious tea. I still could only make it a three legged dog, not actually useful. I questioned my tech knowledge briefly then cursed the great Redmond Satan and moved on.

  • That is the PC equivalent

    of opening the bonnet, sucking your teeth to make 'the noise', and manly saying 'I think it is the tappets'.
