Philosophy Now Forum

FIRST OF ALL:

Doc's tests revealed that my regular laptop screen caused my unbearable headaches. I type for hours each day. My new laptop will have a very high resolution screen - a "gamer's system;" it is medically necessary.

I take that ever-lovin' Leap of Faith into the arms of the Gutsy Gibbon/Ubuntu: I despise the Evils of Microsoft and its Unholy Spawn and decided to boycott.

A "gamer" is a person who plays computer games. A "gamer system" is generally a very powerful computer, because computer games require a lot of processing power and a big screen.

I've used Linux for years (Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.). If you need any help, just ask.

I recommend Dr.Oliver Sacks, especially 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat'
It's a collection of neurological case studies cherry-picked from his career, with thoughts about each, and a very easy read.
