And in school they are supposed to learn COMPUTING instead of social
networking sites, instant messaging and photograph sharing.
Cretin.

Your guess is wrong. I do use Linux for this internet facing system as
it is less prone to virus problems, in my opinion, based on none on this
system and two on my MS based systems (a direct result of floppy disks
with work on brought from school by my son, though). However, a period
of 15 years or so isn't very long.

If you are using my sig as a basis - it is a quotation as indicated.

So MSN and Shydrive are academic tools? Don't make me LAUGH clunky clogs.
And as I've already said, though I expect you've forgotten as your
attention span is obviously about 5 seconds you do NOT need Windows to
access MSN and Skydrive.
