New t-shirt - abstention

I have just drunk a bottle of "Fat Bastard" Chardonnay in memory of my brother, Donald Thomas, and a very nice wine it was. Now I am starting on the red wine - also Fat Bastard. Also very nice. I could get used to this. Abstention is boring.

WINDOWS XP is retiring.

MY LINUX TRANSFER IS COMPLETE!!!
My comment is:  Tell someone who gives a shit.  I never used their support for anything and when my computer dies for the third and final time I will just load Linux on it.  It already has Open Office on it and I very seldom use Windows Office 2007 which I bought at cost price from Microsoft in 2007.  At least I can use open office and it just doesn't crash.  It just keeps on going.  No issues. Just love it AND it is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
