 | Finish my SDL Game of Life program. Install Slackware on my tower PC. Ditch Ubuntu and get Slackware on my Netbook. Learn to use blender. Set up a LAN between two @%#& Windows computers. (This is [I]much[/I] harder than it should be! ) |
| | External hard drives and flash drives are much slower than the internal hard drive(s). Unless you have USB 3.0 ports then I would go with the internal hard drive but, bear in mind, writing and re-writing things on your hard drive will wear it out. I can't wait until solid …  |
