What can I say? I'm a French Irishman in an Italian suit
with a top of the range Japanese laptop.

Well it was top, probably not anymore.

Still a decent bit of kit though. Lots of features and goodies.
The webcam is rubbish though. So what's the story with this
Ubuntu? My browser is Google Chrome. Would I have to
uninstall that after downloading Ubuntu?

My way of thinking is if it ain't broke............................................

google chrome, ouch, does your capitalism know no bounds? Ubuntu comes with firefox, but you can get chrome if your capitalistic urgings so desire! be careful though, your kit might have special enhancements and ubuntu might fry it, but we can only live in hope!

As I told you, I just bought the laptop.
I am not technically minded. I wouldn't
know the difference between Chrome,
Firefox, Ubuntu or anything else and I
certainly never associated any kind of
class distinction between them all.

What I have works fine so I'll leave well
enough alone. I am just an ordinary man
after all.

I'm not the NSA.

All of us spooks need to keep the likes of Robbie free
to pretend to the world that civil liberties exist when
in fact, they don't.

I'm watching you Robbie, I'm listening to your phone calls.
When you open your curtains, that's me licking your window ha ha.

"One Golf X Ray to control......the JW is on the move,
I say again, the JW is on the move.......over".

Sites like bebo, facebook, other social networks like twitter and rhp
must be a dream come true for intelligence agencies.

It cuts out a lot of labour and legwork.
