I'm a geek. I run Windows XP OEM install on my Aspire One laptop.

However, I run debian stable for any server stuff.

And I don't actually do development on the netbook. I remote into the debian machine and there I do work.

Does that make me a hypocrite? No. I never claimed that Linux should be on all the desktops. I claimed, and continue to, that linux can be a fine desktop for people who know how to set it up well enough. I personally don't want to invest the time to do that.

X-COM was an absolutely great game. I loved to name my soldiers after famous people and watch them get demoralized: "Tom Hanks has gone berserk" and start shooting teammates in the back.

So good!

And the aliens were actually hard to beat.

The ambiance was great too, and kept you scared on scary missions. (city missions were especially tense)

Ah, good memories.

Also, the feeling of losing an entire team except one guy back on the shuttle and out of the lz.

They should make a X-COM Vietnam 1966 with CCR soundtracks. It would be the best.
