Like I said, this will be the last Machine to run anything M$ Based, and now that My happieness has been Confirmed for a Linux System, guess what I'll be looking at Next Year?
No I'm not going to cease using my Current PC, at least not for another three years, I just got it last August, and I'll Juice it to death before I "retire" it to a Secondary Machine, but when I do get a new PC, I'll be puttin most of it together myself if I'm able to help out well enough at building a PC from Scratch with factory-fresh components this summer at the Computer Camp I'm working at. I actually know alot of QBasic, some HTML (Mainly used for text-editing), LoGo (the language used for robots), and Visual Basic, unfortuantly it's M$ Visual Basic, and If the scool didn't didn't require it for me to learn C++ I would have avoideed it entirely. Next year I'll be getting lessons in C++ whichi is what I've wanted, so I'm hopeing to finally be able to use some of my Programming Knowledge.
Thanks for the Links Pika, I'll be ready to use them when the time is right, I've already decided that even though it's a "M$" USB intellimouse that's "injection-painted" Yellow and Costs $50 I'm going to buy it, just because it Matches my PC and dosen't have the word of the devil, "Microsoft" on it, but rather, a NIce Close-encounter's alien-head. THat's the only thing I don't like about Mac's, the Mice that they ship with usually! A one-Button mouse annoys me more than anything,espeically since it dosen't have a scroll-wheel, so if I bought a Mac I'd take Gekko's advice, and use my old M$ USB mouse just because I can't stand Control-click. I also need a "Back-Up" USB Mouse, but their will be no more M$ OS's bought by me, no more M$ office programs unless I am "forced" into using them for school in which case I'l have them pay for it, and as son as I'm done with it I'll Delete it, no more M$ Program variations availible on other systems, and most importantly, no M$ XBox! I wouldn't turn on the big "N" like that, andI would sooner buy a PS2 than an XBox.
Here's a message for Billy Gates: "I don't buy crap, I flush it! Remember that the next time you're putting Sewage in Boxes on store Shelves!"
I got this PC for several reasons one of them being to "milk my dad the cow" and get one last PC out of him, after that, it's fair game and I don't intendo for the letters "M" and "S" to be on any of my Software unless it's absolutly Nessecary.
