Comment I used to. (Score 1) 606

I used to, but then all my visits to them always involved troubleshooting something, while the rest of the family is downstairs chatting and eating, I am stuck up at the computer. Heaven forbid if anything else goes wrong or you move icons around, they never let you hear the end of it. So once Vista finally came around I saw my chance, and said, don't know anything about it, call a support tech, other option is Linux. Needless to say I now longer get support calls, and can actually enjoy holidays again.

Comment Canadian (Score 1) 1233

I can tell you as a Canadian, people may harp on about the metric system, but I can assure you its much more messed up then that. Ask the average Canadian the following: How tall are you - they answer in feet and inches. Size of foot - inches. Distance from point A to B, even though they might know the distance in KM's 99% of us will answer in a time factor, oh, its about 24 hours from Halifax to Toronto. Rainfall - mm Snow - cm Horse Power instead of CC's. He threw the ball 10 feet. Soda pop - litre Milk - litre So for most of us, the conversion to metric in everyday life is a mish mash. :)
