I’ll stick with Linux, thanks.
Out of random curiosity last year, I started to tinker with Linux on a local machine–specificly, a 5-year-old HP laptop that wasn’t really being used for a whole lot else. Not really being willing to bother considering what I could manage to lose and what I might want to keep–there … Read the rest

My one and only bief with Greyhound. Bitching and moaning ahead.
Surprisingly enough, it’s not to do with accessibility. It may or may not have anything to do specificly with customer service.
