Good thing I did not write the diary yesterday like I planned to.

I hated Linux. I am installing on 10 old Pentiums. I have tried: Redhat 8.0, Suse 7.3, Corel 1.1, Progeny 1.0 As you can guess it has not gone well. The main problem has been X video detection. I have since learned it is Compaq's fault. So I am not as mad at Linux as I was.

I just delivered 10 other computers to a middle school across town. It is nice being Santa Claus, but the gravy train is almost over. There is alot of demand for donated computers. You would think with all my experience with non-profits I would be able to start an organization that could recycle old cast-offs, but it seems like too big a job to me.
