I want to change over to Linux, but its not only my computer, its the famlies. So I can't try something new without all their needs taken care of too...My dad does alot of crap in word for some club he belongs too, and i'm sure Linux has its own word program but can it be read by someone who doesnt have Linux?

I think that made sense...

When you say its not a good gaming system, does the games you can play on websites count?

Thats pretty much all the games i play except for my nintendo emulator, but i can sacrafice that.

well thats it for now, if i think of more, i'll come back...thanks
