| Back in 2004, I was diagnosed with Asperger's during a short interview. For the most part, I didn't pay much attention to it, even in times when it could have helped: it was insufficiently detailed for my university. A month ago, I finally had the more detailed assessment for AS that my university's... |

| don't you have to know a lot of commnds to use linux? Not necessarily. It all depends upon what the user wants to use their computer for, who admins it, and how the system is set up. If someone else is the admin, and has taken care in configuring some pointy-clicky environment like KDE or GNOME, an... |

Of the non-sponsored links, the top entry for best operating system is Debian, the linux distro I use, and the top entry for worst operating system is an article that states "Windows is THE WORST OPERATIN... |

| For me, LCDs are the only type of monitor that I normally use. While the gridwork on the screen is irritating, it is still better than the fuzziness, flickering, and high-pitched noise of the CRTs. I also don't have desk space for external monitors (my computers are laptops). |

| I've been wearing glasses since 2001, and I'm not even going to consider contacts. While the resting on my ears and nose gets irritating and I don't like how the non-glasses part of what I see isn't clear, I don't think I could properly deal with contacts. If I could even put them in, I know I would... |
