Equal parts of this...

plus this...

and this (or any halfway decent gin on hand; don't bother with the top-shelf stuff)...

equals this:

I'll add a hearty "Welcome" to you as well, patton517!
Yes, Linux is more widespread than most realize. Another example: the preferred development workstation OS within Google HQ is an in-house-only respin of Ubuntu called Goobuntu.

That reminds me of the first mouse I ever used. It was on an Apple Lisa at work, a very expensive machine. I had to call each time I want to use it to see if it was working, it was down so often!
Using Mint as primary OS since 2006.

wow 10k back in 83' thats allot of money, "An additional 512K of RAM could be purchased for $1495" according to http://www.oldcomputers.net/lisa.html
not even a meg but half for 1.5K, operating systems sure did escalate and standards, isnt 4GB RAM standard on all win 8.0/8.1, i can just imagine the future (in the next 10-20 years) with 128GB RAM laptops eating 100GB RAM for the OS :lol: :lol: :lol:
