Unfortunately not an option. Haven't got money to buy a new computer of any flavour.
Linux is free and should work on hardware we already own.
Some people seem to think it is worth using. I would like to find out, but want to know more about different variants before installing as a dual boot alongside Windoze.
For ease of use, sensible layout and pleasure, I used to like my Amiga 1200. It was faster and did a heck of a lot more than Windows 3.0 for a fraction of the price. Ace on graphics, sound files and games, although it lacked the office software. Unfortunately Commodore went bust and subsequent buyers of the company assets never came up with a viable replacement. As for my old machine, a "gigantic" 80MB hard drive and 16MB ram doesn't go very far these days.
Quack!
GtD.
