I've turned the aero-glass off.
Great, it likes nice. But I am trying to use the computer for
something useful, not go and stare at it for hours.

How can he know about books without television to tell him about it? I
mean, I wouldn't have known about the last bit of Potter without TV, or
internet at the very least.

Well, fortunately more people realize that these days, which has given
us lightweight programs such as utorrent. If anybody knows more of such
programs, please report them to me at once!

Well, personally I think it's more a Xfce imitation of the recent
versions of Gnome. And the dock thing has been in Linux for something
like a decade already. I never really liked it though. For some reason,
I still prefer a task bar, a start button and a system tray.

What is the last bit of Harry Potte anyway, my girlfriend has almost
finished it, so I need to know, so I can hold it over her head.

Not since university no.
It looks nice, I agree. But what's the point in that?

From what I've heard, the red haired kid gets it. That Voldermort or
something dies too. Harry goes free-lance and the girl becomes something
a faith healer. The end is set up as a newspaper page.
This is all rumors, so don't hold me to it.
You could google it.

Old Skool rocks. All the computing power used for eye candy could be
better used for deeper gameplay.
