Hey, my wife's Compaq computer hard drive just fried, we never made a recovery disk (my bad), the darn thing never came with a Windows XP installation CD cause Compaq was too cheap to give us one, so I have a XP licence but it will cost me $40 to get a new freaking recovery disk. So I told Microsoft to take a hike (some guy in the Phillipines had to hear my rant) and Compaq that my only option was to throw the f-ing thing away as I wasn't going to spend more $$ when I already had a XP licence (regrets to the lady listening to that!) and I just spent the dosh on a new hard drive. Well actually I had another option, so I loaded Ubuntu (the regular version) and after a half day of Internet searching and set-up my wife is now back up with the damn thing working on our wireless network! Internet, email, documents, DVD player, it all works. It wasn't totally easy (getting wireless to work) but it wasn't that hard either. Plus I don't have a third party virus protection and can't get hijacked internet surfing! And it doesn't take 3 minutes to start-up like Windows. So there you go! Exitao, if you are listening there is another option... PS I hope Simon doesn't hear I jumped ship...
