Ben, congratulations on your graduation and your new assignment. Well done!

The old laptop now has a new operating system and a new home (table).   Since the battery doesn’t hold a charge, and the keyboard has a few non-functioning keys, it’s no longer very portable.  But, with an outlet and an external keyboard, it’s ready to go.

I installed Xubuntu (Linux) on my old Toshiba laptop, and it is good. Admittedly, this is only day two, but the installation went well and the applications seem to work. I even got wifi and network printing working in record time. Now the old laptop has an up-to-date OS. Win98 that came on it is no longer supported, and the machine’s too old to run WinXP or Vista well.
Now, what project to tackle? . . . Spring will arrive, eventually, and answer my question.
Ma’s making a delicious smelling dinner — something we saw on Martha Stewart while exercising this morning. After dinner, we’ll have a real reason to exercise come Wednesday.
