Nice one. Sorry about my rambling - but it was an unrehersed voice comment.
In other news, scary red demons attack my screen.

Posted 12 Jul 2006 at 9:26 AM ¶Ron: I know, it’s weird, huh? There are conflictinga anecdotal studies of Ubuntu vs. OS X ;) It seems like there’s this large mid-range of people who don’t want Windows, want something Linux-y, but don’t want the fuss of all that Linux, even if it’s just “one simple thing” like getting a wifi card working. I couldn’t get my wifi card working out of the box either for my trashed Dell.
WiFi cards were HELL for me in Ubuntu as well. Just horrid support, I suppose.
