Was on the phone with my eldest sister last week while she was with the middle sister, my middle sister asked me to fix her XP Compaq with an Atlon X64 in it. Not a bad rig if she had taken care of it. She smokes and never bothered to open the computer to check the damage she was doing. I got a hold of it, cleaned it out and then booted it up. OMG sooooooooooooooo(X23)slow, you have no idea. She packed it with so much junk(think WeatherBug)that a reformat is all I could do. She had no disks for it so I grabbed a copy of OpenSuSe 10.3 since all they do is internet, they don't really need to know how to use Linux.

This is going somewhere I promise.

I was discussing how I don't have an XP disk and I don't really want to put Vista on a PC with 256MB of RAMa. My oldest sister comments how Vista sucks, to which I reply:
"Excuse me? Have you even used it?"
Her: "Well, Rob(my brother-in-law, he was a Comp-Sci Major and Carnegie Mellon now econ.)says people don't like it."
Me:"That's because they haven't even tried it, they heard from this one guy that it wasn't any good and they believe them because they are sheep."
Her: "Oh, well that's just what I heard."


There in lies the dilemma, "It's what I HEARD." No one tries it because some computer-illeterate tool has to act like he has been into computers since Commodore was leading the market and tells people it blows.

Sorry if this seemed like a very long draw out rant, because it basically is...but, things like that just irritate me to no end.

/rant.
