And then, one lovely day, I was at a Barnes and Noble bookstore and I saw a magazine for Linux. It caught my attention and I took it upstairs to read it. (I had heard of Linux years before, but unfortunately was told that it was for people who were computer experts, so I felt like I would be wasting my time trying to use it). |
