All of a sudden, our room looked like Las Vegas.
My wife woke first, with a migraine.
She said even the bathroom was all lit up, so she slept on the closet floor, with the door closed.
Since it rebooted, all of my stuff was closed, so I just told it to shut down.


Thank heavens I switched to Puppy Linux 15 years ago. I like it when I shut something off, it's actually off. I like not having to constantly update. I like not crashing. I like seeing what the computer is actually doing and running, and that it's open source. I like running an OS until I decide it's time to change it, rather than being subjected to forced obsolescence. I like spending probably a tenth of what I would, to do the same things Windows programs do. I like an OS that runs faster on older equipment than new commercial OSs do on new equipment. I like not being sold to constantly. I like not being bugged to put every aspect of my life up on somebody else's server. I like living on earth and not in "the cloud".
