God so much terrible grammar and miss spellings tonight I think my head exploded.
Jesus people, is it really that difficult to use women for plural and not use the singular woman in every single sentence? I think this is by far my biggest pet peeve on this forum. I seriously think these people failed first grade English.
There are others, and I'm not trying to be this grammar nazi, and I know I make the occasional mistake and I do try to go back and correct them, but man some of these things just slay me. "Me and my..." is almost as bad as my pet peeve above. It should be "My XX and I..." Sometimes, when I read this, I just want to go and punch a baby.
... and best wishes on your bra-quest - may your straps never pinch nor your cups runneth over!

I have a deep, dark secret to confess - I've been cheating.
On Win7.
With Linux.
They both live in the same place, but neither one knows the other exists. They don't even share files yet. I've been hooked-up with Winnie for many years now - I've been through the births of many generations of her offspring - but they've all been kind of slow and bloated. Sure, they wear fancy clothes and they seem nice enough on the outside, but that slowness and bloat always shows in the end.
Along comes Linux - a slim little number with no discernible hang-ups. Sure, she's in the public eye - everyone gets a chance to use her for FREE! - but she's become a more refined woman over the years, whereas Winnie is becoming an operating system soiled dove - always making more demands, forcing you to spend ever more dollars on her for ever-decreasing fun.
And I'm a sugar-daddy to NO system. Even if they DO call me "Papi".
So my plan is to continue to use Winnie, but quietly meet with Linux and explore her shapely lines of code more fully, in the hopes that some day in the near future I'll have a new lady to play with 24/7.
... and that's when I'll leave Winnie on the side of the road.

The woman/women thing drives me crazy too - I've lost count of them. I figure, if they can't get THAT right then it's no wonder they can't GET a women.

I'm savy enough... I just don't have the time or the energy.....
Then the next question would be, what all would I do with a Linux machine?
I remember my first laptop and desktop both having widnows 95. Then 98... . XP was the least offensive of the windows platforms. Then again I remember the DOS days.
I'd like to try Linux... I am not savy enough to install it and set it up to make it work.
I was a bit concerned too, with all the talk about partitioning and such, but there's a program called Wubi that automatically installs the latest Linux version (Lynx) on your 'puter alongside of Windows. It was painless and quick, and the only difference now is when you boot up you choose which OS to use.
Of course I can't share files easily yet without some involved work-arounds, but when (and if) I make the decision to go 100% that will solve itself.
