Today I learned Apple support suck and all they want is your money. There forums are not much better either. One would swear those that answer your problem actually work for Apple as the only answer they seem to give is " Take it to an Apple store. "

I've tried Linux in the past and actually quite enjoyed it, but just get on with Windows and OS X a lot better. I actually still have a box that has Ubuntu Server on which was used for my music storage and when I get my finger out and get a new PSU for it I might bring it back to life.

I have Nadia or Olivia running in VM as well as Gentoo running in VM. Not played with them for a while though.

Linux Mint I found is the easiest to convert from Windows to Linux and the on line support is great.

Today I learned....

Greenland sharks are now the longest-living vertebrates known on Earth, scientists say.

Researchers used radiocarbon dating to determine the ages of 28 of the animals, and estimated that one female was about 400 years old.

The team found that the sharks grow at just 1cm a year, and reach sexual maturity at about the age of 150.

Buy roofing felt all the same shade helps.

Today I learned that there is a massive coral reef in the mouth of the Amazon river.

So surprising that you would find a reef in such a muddy stretch of water! Incredible!

Yes I am running Mint Cinnamon 18 64bit, the installation is a breeze only takes 10 t0 20 min depending on your PC speck. It is quicker booting up than 17.3 and is really good, quick and easy to use. I don't know what it would be like as a VM though as it is my only OS
