I do like to be educated about new things, and I hope other people will
enjoy learning too. It makes me sad that kids are more interested in
learning how to use Facebook and MySpace. The skills from learning Linux
are *much* more valuable.
Challenges are great since I get bored easily. Plus, it's summer vacation-
I can afford some time. :)

Vista did make my CPU act crazy. It would go from 10% to 40% to 30% then
50%. What is going on?! lol

Cool, you have a Linux watch? I don't have a digital watch right now- it's
a classic silver design that goes with a lot of my outfits. :) But I used
to have a digital watch, but I'm not sure where I placed it in my room.
That Linux watch sounds cool!
