Since I do not type fast or well, that has been the biggest road block for me
to turn to Linux. But I want to. I use what I know for now (windows) and keep
reading up on other OS. 

I wish I had never gave up my old systems (XT, AT, 286 Lap Crusher, 386, 486) 
that I had my BBS running on late 80s early 90s. Networked and rock solid. 

If time permits, maybe Linux by the year end.
