Not much happening

As the title says - little going on here. I am now officially 50 - not that I feel any different to usual.
Trying to think what has been going on - and failing miserably! Computer wise, I am considering moving to PCLOS from Ubuntu - as I worry about the commercialisation of Ubuntu. 10.10 introduces much more commercial content - and 10.04 brought in the Ubuntu One stuff. Whilst I like and agree with the inclusion of sensible binarys - such as the graphics stuff for nVidia or ATI, I don't think much of the pay for tunes stuff.
If I wanted iTunes, I would have bought a Mac (assuming I won the lottery!) - but most of the music I listen to I have already bought via vinyl (crikey! That is old Skool!) or cd, and I refuse to pay for it again.

I did download and install DBGL this week - a front end to good old DosBox - which includes some lovely game packs - including ROTT, Wacky Wheels and many of my fave DOS games from my early experiences with computing. Good fun to play a spot of retro-gaming occasionally and this is great stuff!
