    LOL @ Wrong use of ruptured. :P Unless the virus split your laptop open. :confused:

    Umm no, I don't regret anything, but it takes a while after it happened.

    I would love to do a system restore but only get rid of certain parts of my life.

    Sorry to hear that man, I had a similar year! I find singing the Smith's Crisps theme and drinking myself silly eases the pain.

    *Everybody*

    "We want to be...."
    Gulp
    "Smith's Crisps"
    Gulp
    "We want to be...."
    Gulp
    "Smith's Crisps"
    Gulp
    "We're not budging...."
    etc. etc.

    Whatever you feel like :D

    if your feeling adventurous you could compile your own system from scratch with gentoo

    orrr if you want a highly polished, efficient, secure and easy to use right out of the box, go for Linux mint :cool:

    You can now right click with OSX.


    Still wouldn't ever get one. They're ridiculously expensive and no more reliable than any other OS.

    But AH isn't the place for a big operating system debate.
