The word which is written and pronounced differently to my name I think must be quite new because I've only heard of it in the last year or so
as for the art, I only ever really talk about art with people who know quite a lot about the subject. I've never really had that sort of reaction to what I make, then again, people I think feel quite differently about it when they see it in the flesh (and realise how its been made).

Having no OS preloaded on there does save a shitload of money.

You'd think but Dell pay £7.50 for windows per pc.

Sorry, I meant when you buy a PC with no OS on it, you save a shitload.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 19 Sep 2011, 15:43, Reply)

But then you have to buy yourself an OS, which most manufacturers would sell included at a lesser price.

I tend not to buy them, as I'll already have a cracked copy.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 19 Sep 2011, 15:49, Reply)

I tend to buy one every few years
but make sure it's OEM and I can install it on another PC if I upgrade.

This is probably a better approach than mine
I did buy XP OEM (I think), but I haven't bought any since.

What does OEM stand for?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 19 Sep 2011, 15:58, Reply)

Original equipment manufacturer.

Well, if you want to be able to use your PC for all the things most people use their PC's for, I don't think Linux is a good idea.

'Linux' always reminds me of the smelly boy from Peanuts.

Really? It always reminds me of Linus.

it's fine for viewing porn and posting on facebook.
Actually come to think of it I could put Linux on my laptop without loosing anything, can't see that' I'd gain though, other than smugness.
