You are so full of shit as usual. I installed Ubuntu and once I realized
that it didn't run the programs that I want, I removed that worthless piece

You didn't install it because you KNOW that Windows programs don't work
in Linux. You're just a FUD spreader and not a very good one at that.

As expected, a 3rd grade lever reply in the form of a stupid statement

trying linux and other non-MS OS's longer than you've even known other
OSs even existed.

That is a lie...I've tried a couple of them within the last 9 months.

What a stupid pile of useless shit you are. Do you know just how fucking

stupidity is only exceeded by your arrogance.

I did install Ubuntu just to see what all the hoopla was about. Much ado

HA HA HA HA - Get over it. Go smoke a BOWL.

Just making a guess, based on your previous behavior. To my knowledge,
you've never admitted that Linux was capable of doing anything - care to
prove me wrong?

Linux is capable of doing a few things. You can write posts to the windows
forums crying about Ubuntu.

You can use Open Sores to calculate 5 to 10 numbers with their inferior
Excel knockoff. You can use their inferior Word knockoff to write a letter
to Mama or to your parole officer.

You can search for PORN with their browser. See, Ubuntu is useful. Just
not to most people! LOL!
