for you martin

but you are a linux guy overall though, correct?

 

[Martin]

yep

one day i may look into that but as of now i will have to remain windows. i don't have the time to learn the ropes

 

[Martin]

worth a spin, even if you find out you don't like. broadening horizons and all that

as of late i found out that i don't run many apps on my (personal)comp anymore.

besides files explorers and a media player, some office apps from time to time but thats it. i mostly do my deeds online so perhaps that would be a good reason to change? i know alot of ppl's concern is the migration of using certain apps on a proprietary OS

 

[Martin]

Yeah that helps of course. There's many different ways of coming at it, but to me the most obvious one is a technical interest. If you're a technical person then presumably you have an interest in technology and it would be a little weird for a technie no have no interest in exploring technology. Aside from being fun, it makes you smarter, more resourceful. All of these proprietary companies want to lock down everything and basically the only thing you can learn from it is look at the gui and see what buttons are available to you (to make a small over simplification). The linux world is radically different, you can see how things work, it's eye opening.

i hear linux is by far the most stable OS up to date

that is until android will take over in a few

 

[Martin]

Well, android is linux.

Does your college have a soccer team? Is there any interest in soccer at the college level?

Does your college have a soccer team? Is there any interest in soccer at the college level?

Yes we do, they're not a bad team, one of the top 25 soccer schools in the nation. There is some interest and I go to some matches, but obviously there isn't as much interest as there is for our American football team. Most live and breathe American football here.

 

[Martin]

Here as in PA or the country?

 

[Bjerknes]

Here as in PA or the country?

PA to be specific, but pretty much the whole country now. American football is the most popular sport by some margin now.
