[George Borusiewich]

I have had a personal prejudice against Microsoft for years. Therefore, 
it was with a sigh of relief that I (as a noobie) embraced linux and 
ubuntu in 2006. I was a militant convert. I was determined to make 
ubuntu work. And at first, ubuntu worked perfectly. Then, after several 
upgrades, my sound stopped working. Now, after another upgrade, my 
floppy disk stopped working. I thought that upgrades were supposed to 
improve the product, not make it worse. I have spent countless hours 
searching various forums trying to correct something that worked 
perfectly well in the previous version. For the first time this week, I 
have seriously thought about dumping linux and going back to (hated) 
Microsoft. George
