Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Thanks darlin'!! I get so tickled when someone wants help with their avatar & I can actually DO something to help!
Since I just use a small, free program there's a lot I can't do.
But seem to be able to do enough most of the time when someone asks.

Hey, when did you go back to your original opposum avatar? Like them both, but must say this one if my fav.
It feels good to be able to help someone. I have always loved it when I post a link and someone wins something good!!!

I saw the crap earlier about the netbook questions!! I actually printed your instructions. If the mouse pad gets in my way, I now know how to disable it when I am using my mouse!! And I finally did get to rep you on the cottonelle thing, I think it was!! All I know is that they tell me I rep mlx3 too much and have to share with the rest of my friends!!
I would disable the mouse because I have 2 mice for my desktop and sometimes the cat plays with one behind my back and I cant figure out whats going on with my pointer!!! LMAO

Yeah. But he made it.

I see there's a recovery CD, that's cool, I can go right with Linux and still go back to Win7 if I need to without making a backup first. Saves time.

I'll probably start it up in windows, make some bootable Linux stuff, take a look a PinGuy Linux, install that if I like it, if not go for ubuntu/xubuntu. I have a ubuntu netbook edition disc I'll look at, but I'm not keen on the new desktop. Well, I have a couple of days of setting up and configuring and moving stuff ahead of me. Fun stuff. nod
Congrats on finally getting your well deserved Netbook!

As for the OS, I think I am sticking with the Windows 7 (for now, at least). I upgraded to 2GB of memory, uninstalled Norton/Office/other junk, and added a 2GB SD card 100% dedicated to ReadyBoost... so far, so good. It still struggles with multiple applications simultaneously, but it hasn't been unbearable. Definitely keep us posted on how the Linux performs, because there is still a good chance I switch over at some point.

Me too! Guess they need better boxes, USPS isn't gentle. They are sending me a new one also.

So far so good with Ubuntu Netbook. Don't know if I like the Unity interface, it's very OS-X-ish. I might just reinstall with standard Ubuntu or Xubuntu. Unity is a nice compact layout for the small screen, but the interface is a little too "simple" for my taste.

I'm surprised it seems to run a lot better than i thought it would with 2GB of RAM. I just had 21 tabs open in firefox, and got through them with no hangups. Slowly but surely getting used to the smaller keyboard too.

Well, I got something from Marlboro, well one and a half things. I got the ashtray with the letter about the boots delay.

Then I got the bonus gift ashtray, except the box was open and the lid was missing Frown
I called Marlboro and they are going to send a replacement Smilie

While I had them on the phone I asked for the tracking number on the netbook. Seems it was supposed to be delivered yesterday but there was a note "Emergency conditions beyond UPS' control" whatever that means. It's also listed as supposed to be delivered today, so I'll see what happens. I don't know what the "emergency conditions" yesterday was so who knows?
Hey, you're farther along than I am in a way - haven't received any letter with any ashtray because boots are delayed. I did get my netbook before you did though Smilie
