I, well, actually all here, see that I have succeeded in infesting what

little brain matter you have.

But I really don't mind being your excuse for your outright

stupidity...in fact I kind of enjoy watching you make a complete and

utter fool out of yourself on a daily basis and then blaming me...LOL!

You are the definition of a weak, balless lying POS loser!

I saw the way you strutted into AOLU. You were looking to make Ubuntu

look bad and you got slammed down so quick it made your poor little head

spin. Now, you're pissed due to the humiliation and it shows. Need a hankie?

That said, when I first installed Ubuntu, I put it on a machine I didn't

care about, an AMD Athlon 800 with 512 MB of PC133 RAM and played around

with it for about six months, still using XP most of the time. Little by

little, Ubuntu became more familiar and easier to use and XP became

clunkier and not nearly as pleasant a desktop as you can configure

Ubuntu to be.

Alias.
