That looks so much better! You won’t have to take it down, I hope.

I forgot to ask about the status of the fence – what’s happened?

I would absolutely love to see pics, too:) And what happened with the fence? Did you get in trouble?

Ahem! Pictures of projects would be most appreciated! I would love to see how the fence area looks and if you’ve finished cleaning out the garage, I’d like to see that too.

Yes, I’m bored, but I’m also truly interested!

That book sounds really depressing. Interesting, but depressing.

I figured you would at some point. It does things *differently*, not badly. The one really, really nice thing about Ubuntu is that as long as you stay in the main repositories (which you are), all the apps are packaged by Ubuntu itself, which is not true of many (most) distros, hence its popularity.

Wikipedia is powered by Ubuntu, which I learned recently.

As for the Macs and viruses thing: I can’t believe that Apple is taking that tack in their adverts. Viruses are different from trojans which are different from phising attacks. Another technical thing: while it’s much more difficult to take down a Mac (or Linux) at root level, that’s not so important anymore. Everything important (passwords, accounts, saved documents) are at the *user* level, hence the popularity of trojans.

No really, how do you REALLY feel about Macs and viruses?

And I think I’m getting used to Ubuntu. Kind of. Sort of. But I reserve the right to change my mind.
