Thank you very much for Mint 13. For some, the number thirteen is unlucky, but for me, it is the best! Outstanding job!
I love the login screen. It looks beautiful!
Thank you for including all the wonderful themes for Cinnamon. I love the default one. It looks great!
The only problem I have is the wireless not automatically connecting, but I have a way around that for now (see below for fix).
Thank you again and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Dave Brown
