Wow! Windows, OSX, Debian, Firefox--that's light-years ahead of most of my older
friends' abilities, who have a very hard time just slogging through Windows (and
whatever was initially installed on their systems.)

I started on a Mac, then switched to a Win machine. A cutting-edge friend of
mine (on a Mac) keeps me up-to-date on the Mac's OS workings. And he will
probably be the first person I know to get an iPad--then I'll be able to check
it out for free!
