Linux Desktop Environments
#6
Oh, and how did I stumble upon that tidbit? An old desktop that sat unused for years because of a power spike that blew through the most powerful surge protector available to me (Belkin sucks) because the neighbor had their Hydro turned off and I let them plug into my house when they decided to run their washing machine......  After some tests, the power supply was obviously the problem.  Years passed and eventually I bought a new PSU worthy of the old machine. I mean, I certainly couldn't buy a computer like that again, they still sell stuff nowadays that was obsolete years before I bought this decade old machine. When I bought it, it was just a basic PC. Nowadays it's considered a gaming rig. Anyhow, I procrastinated unplugging everything and plugging the new PSU in. Probably another year or two go passed. My girlfriend decides to do it for me and for kicks, tries the PSU that's currently dangling out of the case as I had unscrewed it, looked at the internal cables and found something else to do. She turns it on. It boots.

So today I opened Opera, which was not happy since it's an old version and most web sites wouldn't even load in it and many of the saved tabs were for web sites that went offline years ago. There was the thread I quoted above.... Small joys.
