A professor just asked someone if they knew Windows well and when he said no, the prof said “or at least you’re not going to admit it” …

Everybody always trashes Windows and Bill Gates. I wonder why. Who would be using computers today if it wasn’t for Windows? The nerds. And would there be nerds if they weren’t introduced to computers via Windows or similar easily graspable systems at an early age? The graphic interface allows lay(wo)men to use the computer without having to know dozens of different commands and their usage. And when they realise and learn that there could be a better OS than Windows (better in the areas they appreciate), they get interested in others.

OK, I don’t know if that’s what happens, but I like Windows and I’m not afraid to admit it. I don’t know if I would like computers if I had to stare at the light blue text on blue screen of a Commodore 64 or the black screen of DOS all day (I know they can be customised… but you get the point), or type commands and check how the arguments had to be written again.

And besides, games work on Windows.

And Bill Gates. It’s not like he keeps all the money he’s made to himself. He and his wife have foundations. I think they contributed money even to the Finnish libraries for the exceptional work they’ve (the libraries) done to give public access to computers and the Internet.

I’m hungry so I could’ve gone to eat to an actual Unicafe, but… there are two cafes close by, one is closed for the summer and the other one had only steak and omelette. I don’t eat eggs and I’m pretty sure the steak would be pork, which I don’t eat either. Lucky me.
So, cheese rice cake it is…
I could go … no, shoot … Mum just baked yesterday (or the day before that) :D I would’ve gone via some bakery on my way home and buy something really really good for coffee.

Ehm… a dictionary claims that “hard cheese” means “bad luck” … does it? I can’t find anything for or against. And I don’t have my Idiom dictionary with me.

* singing *
Should I stay or should I go now…. if I stay it will be trouble, if I leave it will be double. Or the other way round. I really don’t remember the lyrics…

It feels like everybody’s leaving… I’m afraid I will be locked in. Actually I *was* locked in :D A girl who left the “sub-room” (a tiny room where you have to go to through this one) closed the door (to this room) and after a while she came back and opened it. :laugh:

I’ll leave at 14. Forgive me, for I’ll sin. (I should be here till 16)
