In fact, I SSH to Linux boxes to use text modem command lines and programs (e.g., tin for usenet!) all the time. I'm old school. I tried Linux (Cinnamon Mint, etc), but found it's just not worth all the hassle, at least to me. Plus I've got way too much invested (program wise) in Windows at this point. That's also one of the reasons I have no interest in Linux. But there are three other major reasons: 1. I've got way too much invested (*knowledge* wise) in Windows at this point. I'm not interested in starting from scratch to learn something new to me. 2. There are undoubtedly a number of programs that I run on it Windows and are important to me that are not available for Linux. Quicken is one, but other come to mind. (Yes, I know there are Linux alternatives to Quicken, but I'm not interested in making the investment of time to learn them and find whether they are just as good for me). 3. There is much more Windows software to choose from. These are also the main reasons I'm not interested in Apples. I don't claim that Windows is better. Might Linux or Apple Operating systems be just as good as, or even better than Windows? I don't know. Maybe they are. But I'm not going to take the time and trouble to find out. Oh, one other reason I'm not interested in Apple. A Macintosh costs much more than a Windows computer.. |
