[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1011153, member: 2189"] I'm about in your league DS and I always go off shelf but the computer guru that handles the computers at my wife's law office is offering to build me a new box but he'll let me do it and just hold my hand when it's needed. Thought it might be a great opportunity not only to learn this but even all the steps in loading all the necessary software and the boot up process. To Jones' point, I'm not into games so that was why I was thinking of going all open source. I have several other computers (PC's) so I've got plenty of backup so I'm not left stranded so to speak. Good advice everyone and thanks also to BB for some great info. Good stuff. Also BB you might find the annual CCC hacker conference (Chaos Communication Congress) YouTube channel of interest. Some you may not care for and I've not watched some myself but the ideas in technology and creating a truly open source world including free wifi globally is pretty amazing stuff. Their Youtube channel is "28c3" [URL="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/wiki/Welcome"][COLOR=#ff0000](here's their wiki website)[/COLOR][/URL] so just search and check some of the stuff out. In fact, anyone into technology will find something to enjoy there. [/QUOTE]
