“It might come as a surprise that terms like Linux and Open
Source and epithets like bloody Microsoft and it shouldn’t be

by me!

“Back in 2009, we acquired two Asus netbooks, one for me and one
for my nine year-old daughter. It was not her first computer. Her
first computer, now ready to come back to me is an old Packard Bell
that has barely enough capacity to start Windows, but might make a
good firewall, which is probably where it will end up once I get
around to excavating it from the toy room.”
