And now the switch over.

But first, a moment.



Little Windows laptop, thank you for keeping me connected to the Internet during this week without my personal computer. There are things you couldn't do and things you did wweirdly but you kept me connected to the world and I apprciate that very, very much.

Out of curiosity, what were you looking for it to do, that it could not? It'd be useful information in case I need to provision a Windows box for you again at some time in the future. (Please feel free to continue the discussion in email if the answers are personal and/or embarrassing.)

Also please rest assured that I'm going to wipe the hard drive when you return it to me, and not view, copy, store, or do anything else other than destroy any data you may have placed on/in it.

Oh I missed drawing is all. Don't worry about it.

I think I remember installing GIMP on it, although that's more of an image-manipulation tool than a drawing tool.

I'm very fond of GIMP. I can't draw at all, but GIMP gives me the power to take found images and mangle them to produce an approximation of what I see in my head. I haven't re-uploaded my user icons yet, but all of them were created with GIMP (except the ones that were drawn by my more talented friends, like minoanmiss

Staying connected to the world is so important! I'm glad your weird little Windows buddy was able to do that for you.
