Get a new computer for almost free
If you would like or might even need a new computer, but aren't crazy about spending $500-1500 in our current financial environment, consider upgrading your computer for free. Yes, I said free. The only investment you will incur is some time. "How", you ask? By upgrading your computer's operating system to one of the many Linux options. As many of you know, I started dabbling and learning more about Linux a little more than two years ago. Linux offers a secure, completely functional, modern operating system for free. Linux falls under the guise of Open Source software (available for free and developed by a collaboration of many programmers) and has spawned many different versions to suit all sorts of users.
The most popular version of Linux the past few years, and the one that hooked me, is Ubuntu. Ubuntu has risen to become, arguably, the leader in Linux operating systems. Ubuntu's popularity stems from the solid community behind the product that supports and develops it, the incredible array of software that comes installed automatically including full Office compatiblity, networking, photo and multimedia tools, and even games. To get the equal functionality that Ubuntu gives users upon installation, a Windows user would have to shell out nearly $1000 for software alone. Ubuntu throws the knockout punch by offering all this for not only free, but also in a package written well enough that it installs in under 20 minutes and runs on hardware that would buckle under the weight of Windows Vista.
Search my site for more information about Ubuntu, read some stories at Ubuntu Story, and definitely visit the Ubuntu web page for more information as well. For many home users and some small businesses as well, upgrading existing computers to Ubuntu will save time, money and extend the life of many computers. Think about it...you do have a viable choice.

Captcha
Rick. I wish you would change your captcha program. I have a very hard time reading most of them !!! Other sites use this Captcha crapola but are much easier to read !!
Do you ever loke at yours ??? I had to look at 6 to find one I could read. Most are very blurry !!
Sorry, but it won't change
I use this captcha service because it works the best at keeping the robots out and keeping the page clean of comment spam. Sorry, but the bad guys makes us do all sorts of things that make us uncomfortable, but this is the best solution available at this time.
Ale
