Fixed. I don't think MacOS is particularly touchy yet, and there's a slew of Linux desktops that are more traditional. I know that doesn't help most people, but with the short experience I had with a Windows 8.1 laptop (I boxed it up this morning to return it), I'm not thrilled with the prospect of running Windows past 7. If only my wife didn't need Photoshop I'd probably be able to switch to Linux full-time.
Which brings up something else: the laptop, with it's "Secure Boot" BS won't boot off anything other than the internal disk. I was going to install Linux on it before shipping it back to see how it ran but after an hour of poking around on Dell's support site and Google I couldn't find an obvious method to disable that nonsense. It seems that some systems it's just not possible, but I didn't look hard enough to know if that was the case for that system to be sure.
It's really bad that M$ controls hardware manufacturers, but they've been doing it for subtle ways for years. According to that article, you're stuck with Ubuntu or Fedora for now on latest hardware where you can't disable secure boot.
I run Ubuntu (14.04) on my desktop and Linux Mint Mate (17.1) on my laptop. I'm not a fan of the Ubuntu Unity interface and I got lucky on my desktop as I kept upgrading from an old version that originally had Gnome and it somehow keeps it around.
Has your wife tried "gimp" on linux as a Photoshop alternative?

I'm not crazy about "Beauts."
My first thought was the Hartford Whalers.

Lindback. I think he deserves the chance given his performance on a handicapped team.

Edmonton absolutely does not deserve the first pick, especially when they can't figure it out with their three #1 picks the prior 5 years. Sad.

The team is entertaining to watch. While no longer in Buffalo, I have ESPN+ just to watch the Sabres. Actually getting into the playoffs might justify the price increase.
