Alright we're going to talk computers here.

To be more specific operating systems.

Which one are you?
The whole Microsoft thing?
Mac OSX?
Linux platform?

I use whatever suits the purpose. Vista/XP for work/development. OS X for video/music/development. Linux for open source apps/development.

I have at least half a dozen notebooks at home, some running VMware, so I'm using at list half a dozen OSes.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Switched to Mac OS at christmas and it is much better than Vista.

It can do everything that a windows OS can do plus a lot more! Also there are a few really simple things that it does that are very good! Eg just highlighting text and dragging it from a webpage into where-ever you want it!
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

Alright we're going to talk computers here.

For what use?

For heavy use big time applications, either Z-OS (what used to be OS390) or Unix. For web hosting, Linux, for desktops Windows, for graphics either Unix or MacOS

These days, a mac can take care of just about every computing need - It is a unix OS with all command line fu and config/make/install geekery you could possibly want, it will run windows flawlessly via bootcamp or virtualization. You can install linux on a partition, or in a virtual machine or even OS/2 and Solaris x86 if you are into that

If you run X11 you can use all the gui open source apps natively...

I'm about 50/50 between Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). I'm in the process of converting to a higher percentage Ubuntu, but I've been lazy with setting up some details of it. Maybe after this paper deadline.

I have Windows machines all around me at work and home, suits my needs pretty good. If I was more in to doing video, I believe I would prefer to have a Mac. But for my audio/graphics needs these Windows machines handle it pretty well.

Hmm....For the Z-OS and Unix, I didn't mean for personal use. I meant to support thousands of users, say a 50 TB Oracle Application.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
