I love Linux, from the first day I have used Linux it was how I though a computer should work. But for me I don’t seam to fit into what a classical Linux user should be. Nor do I seem to be what I see other Geeks as. I have slowly but surly (and not[…]
This Saturday if it does not rain I am going to go biking I have spent far to much time this week on computers. Not only my work time, but my home time was spent on the computers. If it rains, which it looks like it is according to the forecast, I will do some[…]
OK I figured out what to do with the new computer when it comes. I am going to let it stay a windows box. I will then get the data off of the gateway laptop, which is about 2 years old and windows starts to take a dive at that time. I will then convert[…]
Well the eMac has come and I have setup it up. It did a great job of getting all my files off of the iBook, even the setting and program files came over. So I went ahead and deleted all the music and photos off of the iBook to save some hard disk room on[…]
I am now having it copy my files over to the new computer. This could take a bit of time, it will be faster then if I tried it over the network, but still might take time, I have about 15Gb of data on the iBook. When I finish I will probably take the music[…]

I am moving my mail from the old lookout program to evolution. I could not get any method of converting the mail to work, so now I am using my imap server I have access to, to put the mail on it, and copy it down to the evolution program. It will be worth it[…]
