hey im new =D
anyway, this sort of crosses over with techie stuff.
i used to use windows but found it was gettin very very slow and tedious to use. so i did a bit of research into upgrades and other such things but becuase i was low on money there wasnt much i could do. i found out about ubuntu from a friend which is linux based. using ubuntu is fast and very userfriendly. everything on it is free including open office which is like microsoft office but free. i would recomend this to people using more of the out of date computers like myself its easy to install also! if i you stuck installing im sure they have tutorials on youtube
google ubuntu
because i cant post links cos im a newbie
