 I thought you were just making a computer geek joke. In fact, I'm sure that's what you were doing. Yeah, that's the ticket. LOL well, I have been called an anorak in my time but never suspected of being geek as far as I recall... but one learns something everyday I guess... No, I thought Aj was making the joke.
Now I have to go look up "anorak".
Edit: Aha! British slang.

OK. Sorry for the confusion. Haiku is a free and open source operating system based on BeOS, a dead operating system that was once projected as main rival of MS Windows. There was a time in 2010-11 when I used to try different operating systems like many flavours of BSD and Linux. Might have tried Haiku OS for a few hours too. I just googled Haiku and got the one you were talking about. I thought you were just making a computer geek joke. In fact, I'm sure that's what you were doing. Yeah, that's the ticket. haha...there was a time when I pretended to myself that I am a real nerd who knows a bit more about computers than most other guys. But eventually I came to realise that I was only good till installation part but once installed I hardly knew a thing or two to do with the systems. Still to impress my friends I did have multi boot system with 7 different Operating systems at one time. But guess I finally gave up the pretend because I had zero knowledge of programming or for that matter of most things. But one thing I gained out of all this is that I eventually settled on using Linux - a free, ethical and open source OS. |

The best I can do is explain things to people of my parents' generation. And before long I'll be at the bottom of the pecking order.  |
