Hello!
They call that outfit 'Yahoo' for a reason.

Unfortunately, his recommendations on Linux must also be considered bad advice. This guy obviously hasn't used Linux very much (if at all), since he doesn't even acknowledge the existence of WINE. If you're going to write an article about something, at LEAST know what you're talking about.
Chromebooks? My sister swears by hers; I swear AT it. Then again, she pretty much lives her life in close proximity to an Internet connection. Just to make a point, I offered to install Chromium OS on her daughter's laptop. Both sister and niece politely refused my request.
I would have bought a Chromebook when they had decently-sized hard drives in them, so I could wipe Chrome OS off it and put a DECENT version of Linux on it. Now? For not much more, a REAL computer can be had - WITH Windows 8.1 pre-installed. I like the netbook concept; I guess I should get another used one off E-Bay, and put LL on it.
Macs? My sister-in-law and a former girlfriend use a Mac because that's about all the high-tech they can comprehend. As for my sister-in-law, she could not only buy a Mac, but most of Apple along with it. For the vast majority of the rest of us, one is simply out of our price range. OS X can be purchased, but why bother?
I guess I was 'Linux geeky' when geeky wasn't cool!

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
