It won't hurt for you to use Windows every now and then! :o You could always carry a LiveCD around, but that could be troublesome. It won’t hurt for you to use Windows every now and then! :o

The semester ends next month, and after that my courses will be completely online (Unix I, English comp, on my way to Linux sysadminship). :) I've considered a GNU/Linux distribution from a bootable flash drive, but my datatraveler is only 2GB. I'm sure there are plenty that would fit, but I'm more of a Fedora/Ubuntu/Debian type of guy, not a DSL/Puppy guy. ;) Mom, you made a typo! At this point it wouldn’t be worth learning batch.

The computers I used at college back in the day... they were Pentium II's with XP Professional loaded. Plenty of bloated software meant they ran extremely slow. We also had to use CRT monitors. I wasn't able to change my resolution. There was no Cleartype available to switch on. I couldn't install Firefox. I still cringe at the memory. *sits in a corner and slowly rocks back and forth* And 'back in the day' meant the year of 2003! And some of '04. You’re lucky.

At least next semester is online, with your own computer.
