"Listen, folks, all animals are equal, okay? But let me tell you, some of them—the best ones, the smartest ones—they're more equal than the others. Believe me, nobody knows more about equality than I do."

PCs have become commodity devices controlled by someone else. Microsoft generously allows people to use the PCs we buy, but retains ultimate control over what features get installed or removed.
It doesn't have to be this way. Computers used to be fun. Linux takes me back to simpler times. #Linux

it is very telling that “BIOS”, in addition to being an acronym, is also the Greek word for “life”. meanwhile, “UEFI” is, of course, ancient Greek for “unified extensible firmware interface”

I haven't posted a computer in a while so here's a quick luggable computer that I think is pretty cool. Here is the Morrow MD3P Micro Decision Portable. This is a CP/M based computer with an interesting 9" x 5" amber CRT screen. I'm a fan of amber screens and this one being slim is very clear.

If you’ve taken up drawing/painting, 1) that’s awesome! 2) lets dispel some myths:
1) artists have traced for forever**
2) Same for projectors*
3) same for photos
4) painters frequently had distractions, like instruments.
5) painters often scraped everything off and started over
Have fun!
