I love you man... You know that you can pay it all forward right? And that is what I try to do for those less fortunate than you are, or even myself. Those who are between a rock and a hard place with having nothing as their only other option.
Sometimes less and simple is huge... :)
And thank God for options, and Linux has much potential in the desktop area, and I would even like to create a custom Linux distro that others could use, though again for me there is no need to engage in the extensive time and exploration that it would take to get my own rig close to the functionality and customization that I employ. But I remain interested and watchful of development and thank you for your help.
