So is it safe to go over there now, as long as I don't click on any ads? I don't know much about this stuff.

I guess you don't have to click on an ad to catch a virus. I was just surfing over there and caught a trojan. It was not purdy.

Unless you like Linux, then they are quite similar.

I used them when i worked at Rice. They are ok once you get used to them.

I grew up IBM. Still have my DOS 2.x books somewhere, along with a bunch of Novell Netware stuff. (Heck, I even go back to the Ti-99/cassette tape days...) I actually fought AGAINST using Windows for quite a while- damn gimmicky graphics stuff - give me text!

Shoot, If there's EVER demand for 30-yearold knowledge of Basic, Fortran or COBOL, I'm covered.

Bought my first Mac 2 years ago. The iMac, a power cord, keyboard and mouse. That's it. Plugged in, running, connected and on the web in UNDER 5 minutes. Zero issues since. IF this is the dark side, I'll never go back to the light again....

Took me longer to configure the windows-based printer than anything else.

No real learning curve... In fact I'd consider it more of an UNlearning curve.

I STILL find myself doing things "the hard way" occasionally, then my daughter will say "watch this" and show me how easy things are (photos & music especially).
