   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> It's Win10....   
      
   I just took a peak at what's being offered as far as preinstalled systems go   
   and it appears Win10 is the top choice.  I've never seen it in action.  Most   
   people here only have smartphones and/or tablets and for the mostpart Android   
   is the usual suspect on those.  One Chromebook and one Mac book or whatever   
   they're calling them these days.  Not counting myself only one other neighbour   
   has a reqular computer and he uses linux, and has since he met me.  I think   
   his motivation was to beat me at the linux game - whatever that is - but I   
   think somewhere along the line he realized that we're on totally different   
   paths as far as what uses a computer has to offer.  I tend to be more of a   
   networking/hacker type than he is and he tends to stick to the more 'popular'   
   uses such as digital photography and the such.  I am more of a n   
   tworking/server type and as we speak I have three tiny lowpower systems   
   including the raspi I am typing this reply on as well as two wireless access   
   points I am customizing for those who want to use them for whatever is wanted   
   at the moment.  As far as I know that is probably Facebook and/or YouTube   
   given any conversations I have with the neighbours about wireless access.  All   
   three are pure linux.  My main toy is also linux and I use that for my own   
   purposes, mostly to play around with ideas I might have.   
      
    NB> Lots of suckers did... and still do.... ;)   
      
   I think I was right about 2.0 though.  What I failed to see was that it had a   
   future.  Beats me why.   
      
   Life is good,
