Journal Journal: Google, my Hero! 6

Yeah, I said that.

Many, many moons ago, anyone that knows me that long might remember me asking about where to find a two-page advertisement that Sun Microsystems had put out some time around 1998. It had a picture of Sally Struthers and a caption that said something like "Thinking of running your critical apps on NT? Isn't there enough world suffering?"

I bought a laptop (Core2-Duo CPU, 2MB RAM) that came with Vista shortly after Vista was released. I actually liked it, and that's saying something when you consider that every single Microsoft OS has let me down at one time or another. It seemed to me that most of the people that didn't like Vista were trying to run it on systems that were optimized for XP.

I now have Windows 7 on all my gaming systems (long story, i'm all about using the right tool for the job), and I'm considering Win10.

Republican presidential candidates: George Bush, George W. Bush, and now likely Jeb Bush.

Nope, no nepotism here, I am sure that they were each the best man for the job out of a population of 200+ million.

Ummm... Not sure you're using 'nepotism' correctly there. <shrug>

I wouldn't vote for Jeb anyway. I'm still trying to figure out what barrel of monkeys got released that made it possible for him to lead in many of the recent polls.

I got the tarball on my Windoze box but got lazy about getting that to the system I'm planning to install it on. There, I used the git command provided to get that copy. Not sure what version it is, but it's the last version provided and it is certainly very outdated by now.
