One in the computer. Two in my router, one software one hardware. Sure, opening up ports is a pain cause you have to do it three times but I got network security

damn straight.

Wish I could put up a firewall around my house. But apparently there are these things called "building codes" where I live and they just wont allow it. Fire marshal nearly fainted when I said I wanted to build a 24 foot high fence ignited on fire. Don't see what the big deal is....

I find a loaded shotgun works best for that. And robotic attack dogs. Those are the best

Why is there not other option for Linux ? You only have 2 a MAC and PC.

I vote Linux why Microsoft is greedy.


Next OS is Linux

Yes, Bill Gates looks like an add for birth control, and has way too much money, but mAC is (IMO,) a far inferior machine, (yes, I have used both,) and you basically need a class to find out how to work one.
Then there is the concideration of "cosmetics." It seems they go out of their way to make something that looks like it was a Star Wars reject.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

But if you had a Mac, you could run (the better) Mac OS X and (crummy) Windows at the same time. Two computers in 1. No need for the standalone PC anymore. And Apple moved to the Intel Chip to encourage more customers. And guess what? Its worked.
