The problem I have with Linux is that it's not as easy to use as Windows and is now as memory hungry.

Memory is so cheap these days that this excuse has long since left this earthly plane. Comfort requires RAM, it's as simple as that. As for 'not as easy to use': I think what you mean is that it is not Windows, and does things in a different way (thank god). Modern installations are perfectly usable, and just as easy, once you get the hang of things. It's when you begin to add funny hardware that Linux begins to show cracks and glitches.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Hi Cymric, you have a very distinctive aviator. I've noticed it for many years now. What is with that cat? it looks terrified, as if its Master has been abusing it in unsavory ways.

There's nothing 'with' that cat, it's simply photographed in this particular pose. Of course, being a Cymric, it is tailless, but whether it is a stumpy or a rumpy is something I cannot tell from this picture. And no, I don't own a Cymric myself: while looking for a new handle I wanted a distinctive breed of cat. At first I pondered the Holy Birman (my absolute favourite) or Somali (equally clever as the Siamese, but with an in my opinion more acceptable body shape), and then settled on the Cymric. Not many people know this breed, so it's a bit exclusive.
