Right as rain, Shoe. I liked XP, but the new laptop has Win 7 and is fast. I know, Dave is cringing, but this is as good as it gets here. Hey, I survived Win 95! Know all I know thanks to its reliable crash a week.
And don't throw any rotten organic veggies at me, but it seems like permaculture is a fancy name for sustainable common sense farming/gardening. And, that the fancier the name, the more they can charge you for a course in it.
