I don’t know if you have been paying attention to the case in Pennsylvania that has been making news. It seems the school had all of its laptops loaded with software to protect them from theft.

One of the things I miss when I am on a Windows operating system is the ability to have one instant messenger handle all messenger accounts. i.e. Yahoo, MSM, Google Talk, etc.

I thought you might like to see the desktop on my KDE system I wrote about in a previous post. Here is a screen capture.

Nineteen days ago I downloaded openSUSE 11.2 Linux and installed it on my backup PC. I was so pleased that I decided to move it to my primary PC and replaced the RC version of Windows 7 and for the last eight days it has been my main system.
