“8″ Fails at Robert Pogson

Acer knows the PC business. Truer words were never spoken: “Windows 8 itself is still not successful. The whole market didn’t come back to growth after the Windows 8 launch, that’s a simple way to judge if it is successful or not.”
…
“the Taiwanese PC maker has seen a healthy response to its Chrome-based notebooks. Making up 5 percent to 10 percent of Acer’s U.S. PC shipments, Chromebooks have generated strong sales for the company”

Meanwhile all things FLOSS and */Linux are thriving, offering everyone great IT at minimal cost. If you haven’t tried FLOSS get an Android/Linux smart thingy or a GNU/Linux PC. You can install the software yourself on existing equipment. They are a $FREE and legal download. The licence comes with the software and it permits running the software any way you like on as many machines as you like. That’s the right way to do IT instead of needing an accountant and a lawyer supervise every instance.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
