I'm replacing you all with perl bots. This is merely gathering some information in case they are questioned. |

I know pretty much everything there is to know about Macintosh System 7.5
Sadly I know very little about more recent versions 
(But I guess that's because by and large you don't NEED to know anything  )
However, I've been thinking about buying a cheap windows laptop just because I think it's ridiculous that I have no idea whatsoever how PCs work... So I expect to become quite a regular in this forum, asking questions like "where's the power buton" and such like

I'd not bother. Windows is pish.
It'll just make you appreciate Macs all the more

[/holywar] | They're both as pish as each other! macs are only slightly better but I wonder if OSX would be able to cope if it was in the same situation as Windows? I for one thought OSX (macs) were so much better than windows when I first got one, but having had it for a while now I have plenty of complaints and annoyances. | |

Al is doing his bit to diminish the Mac community’s reputation for zealotry.

I'm havin to use a laptop at the moment. A rather nice Thinkpad mind you.
My main rig is down at moment, one of my PSU converter adaptors gave out. 4 pin to 8 pin, it melted. So I am currently awaiting delivery of a rather luxurious 24 pin modular EPS PSU. | |

Background: I Graduated from Strathclyde last year with a BSc with First Class Honours in Computer Science. I've been developing Java applications professionally for 2 years in total, but have been using Java and general software development principles for a few more. I dabbled with Linux throughout uni and until recently ran linux on all my home machines.
Now: I'm a Java developer at a financial company developing server side applications using a variety of open source frameworks and J2EE standards. I'm a Sun Certified Java Programmer and I'm currently working towards the Developer certification.
On AN: Java, Linux, SQL, UML, theres not much demand for it here though. | |
