Nope. But haven't done a lot since that initial rush on Sunday.
I online (Firefox is so crisp) I have set up two e-mail accounts; set graphics res; set refresh rate to 85Hz; Installed some updates (fonts & Nvidia graphics driver). Next things are to play mp.3's and DVD movies. But I been busy, so, soon come. Enjoying this thing very much so far

Bit of an update.
I can now play all DVD's, both originals and 'backups'. Can play mp3's. Have installed UT2004 and have played first two levels, it works well. Have downloaded Linux UT2004 3355 patch, currently figuring out how to install it, lol Am really pleased with Open Office, it's every bit as good as MS's Office offering, there's everything I need in that package and it recoginses Office files and documents as well. And it's free, I'm quite gobsmacked. Also, all the things I had figured out to do in Adobe Photoshop 7 I can can do in The Gimp, another free package. There are still quite a few things I can do in Windows I haven't been able to do in Suse 10 yet, an FTP program and mp3 conversion program to name just a couple, but I daresay the software is out there, I'm still learning. Overall, a very pleasant, if at times frustrating, experience. All open source. Magic
