Picture this, assuming some army guy got this amazing gun, holding some enemy suspecting of being bad, suddenly the phone rings [nokia phone ring tone]..."Err excuse me whilst I take this".

BANG!

What a joke of a concept, this should of been made on April Fools Day. Read the mad articles at the following locations:

Not surprising really :/

There is an article that relates to my previous email alert, seems mine is majorly late in warning.

Remember to be more vigilant with your emails that look totally out of the blue. They seem to be written as if trying to trick you to reply back.

Frustrating Moment: You will save money if...

...You stop relying on Microsoft. Make a change and try a Linux distribution called, Ubuntu.

I will keep this person's name anonymous but I heard some frustration of a 2nd hand laptop bought for £100, that they wish to save their ONLY copy of the OS software that was pre-installed on the laptop. Just these few statements that really frustrated me and is inspiring to me to think up some statements to help.

Encouraging Thoughts to Dump Microsoft

• First off you can buy a whole brand new netbook for £150.
  
• Choosing Linux as my primary OS, it took some getting used to (It's like learning to ride a new bike).
• I know Ubuntu is almost there for user friendly free alternative for an OS (Give it a try).
  
• Endless supply of free support online (Online Chat [irc] and forums).
  
• Endless supply of free updates and security.
• Mass huge range of free software spanning all categories of uses.
• You will save barrels of money by moving from Microsoft to Linux.

The only Requirements is

• A standard Linux Supported Machine (This is an awkard bit :/hmm ). If you can boot from a LIVE CD of a Linux dristro then that is a huge clue that it will run almost fine.
  
• Broadband internet connection.
• A copy of Ubuntu's latest software.
  
• Some Will to change.

I now wish to stop preaching and burn a copy of Ubuntu just give it to them. I did show them once before but struggled to get their Internet fully working which stopped me, Fuzzing Ruzzing muzzing dag namit! I felt almost I almost converted them! I wish to try again someday.
