Getting the laptop, making pc-resolutions
February 9, 2007
What happened first: i bought a rather cheap laptop last week, an Acer Aspire 3682WXMi.
I always get this fresh feeling when starting tinkering on a new clean system. It almost like new year: I make resolutions. I promise myself I won’t make a mess of my filing system (well, the intention of a system…) But it always ends up looking like the real life desk and drawers in my house look like…
Anyway, I also decided to finally try to get rid of Windows. One step at a time. Not that I don’t want Bill Gates to become richer than he already is. No no, he does really good stuff with his money a lot of times. But somehow I have this funky feeling that the world would become a better place if the majority of PC’s would run on open source operating systems and with open source software. Because it would mean much easier access to the world of computing for a lot of people in a lot of continents. So, ok, call me idealistically inclined…
