Obviously I am far and away out of my league in this discussion, so I think the best policy is to shut up and watch the intelligentsia wage their wars. I can't afford lunch tomorrow, let alone another computer. I'm happy for you people who can, seriously. I am not suffering techno-envy, my stupid little two boxes one running Mint and the other WIndows 7 Ultimate, that's all I have and it shall suffice. I read stuff from JWC and he's got more boxes and RAM on them all than I could ever dream of, but that's ok. He works hard and makes money and all that is totally OK. Not a problem in the world with his doing well. I mean, if anyone in this community has given back, it's JWC! He has done more for this community than pretty much anyone else I could name. All that said, I have only two boxes, one dedicated to Mint 11 and the other to Windows 7 64-bit. with a mere 4 gigs of RAM in both. This is the sad story of my life. Oh, I forgot. I have a KVM that enables me to swap from this box to that, since I cannot afford separate keyboards, mice and monitors. so I have to swap among them, but hey, KVM is pretty cool, given my extremely limited resources. I'm about to purchase a third box, and my KVM can actually support that new baby and two more. And the best thing is that my heating bill is included in my rent, so in theory I could have 100 computers here, and not pay even a nickel extra in rent or hydro bills. Woo hoo! In addition, I'm probably not going to live even 24 more years, so that's that. Call me Toast. I'll be off this planet soon. A.
