Cool, hip, people don't use Windows or Mac any more. They only use Ubuntu.
It's better, faster, no such thing as a virus, runs Windows software, but
all Ubuntu software is free and equal to or better than Windows software,
it's so much faster your old dusty computer will run faster than a brand new
one! And, to top it off, it's free -- in every sense of the word. Go check
it out at http://ubuntu.com
