No lockups, popups or forced upgrades. Ain't it grand. More importantly, no commercial butt-sniffs nosing into your business and telling you what you can and can't do on yer own freakin' computer!!!

Geeks.com may have some mobo/cpu combos for sale. > switching to Arch will be a breeze. > just install Arch on it. If you're still a current Slack user and impressed with Arch, that's good enough for me. I'll give it a look/see. thnx nb
